The Fall Festival & Other Activities
Click here for more information
This is the 13th Annual Sunderland Fall Festival and has been growing in popularity. The day features, local bands and musicians, food and beer vendors from across the valley, featuring restaurants like Bubs BBQ, Bridgeside Grille, Chandlers, etc. If you have family that isn’t riding, they can enjoy everything from clowns and arts and crafts to a potato sack race and live animals. In addition to the Fall Fest, right down Main Street is the famous Mike’s Maze. Not your typical corn maze, this maze has been featured on Ripley’s Believe it or Not. If you haven’t been to it yet, this is your chance. If you have, you know how much fun it is! Mike’s Maze will be offering a discount to riders’ families on the day of the ride.

Photo Contest

Since this is our first year, we’d love to start compiling some photos. Stop along the route and take a breath-taking picture. Or catch your unsuspecting ride-mate in a less than flattering shot. Let’s face it — there’s no hiding in spandex. Send them in to us and if your photo is chosen, you get bragging rights! (Really, this is a charity after all).
