“It should be on your bucket list – it’s the Tour you want to ride!”

Delaware Valley Bicycle Club’s 42nd Annual Brandywine Tour meanders through the beautiful Brandywine Valley, traversing much of the area where Revolutionary War troops marched and fought at the Battle of the Brandywine. Five low-traffic road cycling route options – 40, 50, 60, 80 and 100 miles.  Rolling to hilly terrain with long flat stretches.  The 80 and 100 mile routes ride through pristine Amish farm country in Lancaster County. Travel at your own pace, with family or friends, or make new cycling friends.  Tour proceeds after DVBC expenses go to a variety of bicycling advocacy organizations.
