We'll be staying at the Bird-in-Hand Family Inn, in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country with excellent cycling routes all around. Rides ranging from 18 miles to the 101-kilometer (63 mi.) Bird-in-Hand Metric Century will be offered on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

There's also plenty for non-cyclist friends and family members to do on the inn property and in the surrounding area. There are indoor and outdoor pools, hot tubs, and a miniature golf course on site, with a farmer's market next door and a bakery, a Pennsylvania Dutch artisans village, a quilt shop , and Lancaster County Balloon Rides across the street.

The Inn is home to one of Lancaster County's most popular smorgasbord restaurants.

The $70 registration fee covers event registration, incidentals, and Saturday evening's all-you-can-eat Smorgasbord Buffet. Breakfasts are priced separately to provide a choice of morning meals -- the Inn's all-you-can-eat smorgasbord breakfast for $13.50 each, or something else if you'd prefer.

How to Register

1. Guests first register and pay the event fee to BCP online.
2. Rooms are then booked by having one person from each room call the hotel to make the reservation.
   You should call, not register online, and tell them you are with the Bicycle Club of Philadelphia.

Contact Pat Haggar ( haggarp864@gmail.com ) for help looking for roommates.

The event is only open to BCP members and their guests. (An annual BCP membership may be purchased anytime for $20, $10 for students.) Click here to learn more about BCP membership.

Space is limited, but more rooms might be available if we reach capacity. Registration will be open from January 1st through May 6th 2025, or until space is full, whichever is sooner.
