The Black Rock Retreat 2012 125 Mile Bike-a-Thon has been scheduled for two separate days this year with options on Saturday for two shorter rides.

The BR2RB 125 Mile Bike-a-Thon is a one day ride starting from the grounds of Black Rock Retreat in Quarryville, PA and ending at Camp Arrowhead on the shores of Rehoboth Bay, DE! The route travels through some rolling terrain in Southern PA and into Maryland. The route then flattens out in Delware and remains that way until the end of the ride. Most of the route in Delaware is a designated bike route which makes for an enjoyable ride. Riders proceed at their own pace, with the majority of riders fininshing within nine hours or less.

This ride is fully supported with five rest stops, fully stocked with food and beverages. A roving bike mechanic is available for small repairs and a qualified first aid person will be available at all times. A sag vehicle will carry a duffle bag for each rider to the finish line and will also be available to pick up riders who encounter problems. Bathhouses with hot showers, a full course dinner meal and rider and bike transportation back to Black Rock Retreat will be available at the ride destination.

Two other rides are available on Saturday, August 25th only. A bus will drop off riders 80 or 50 miles away from Rehoboth Bay and the riders will begin their journey from the drop off point that they choose. Riders in these shorter trips will have rest stops available to them and medical and repair support. They will also join the 125 mile riders in their celebration dinner and have return transportation available.
