Also known as “the ride for pie” this is one of the region’s favorite cycling events known for its unique character and atmosphere.
Routes of 16, 25, 50, 62, and 100 miles will leave from Legislative Mall, 410 Legislative Ave., Dover, DE, and wind through central Delaware’s peaceful (and flat!) Amish countryside. Featuring unique scenery, friendly volunteers, pie and fun for all. This ride is perfect for your first century!
This is not a timed event or race.
Motor vehicles are not restricted on the routes of the Amish Country Bike Tour. Follow all rules of the road. Never cross a yellow line, not even to pass.
To promote safety and relieve congestion, a staggered police escorted start based on distance is scheduled out of Dover:
7:00 am 100 mile riders

8:00 am 50 mile riders
8:30 am 25 mile riders
9:00 am 16 mile riders
Leaving prior to your designated starting time is not recommended. Staggered start times are designed to reduce road congestion and ensure that rest stops are open at appropriate times. All participants must have completed their ride by 5 pm.
Up to 5 rest stops are included, depending upon distance: Harvest Ridge Winery (MaryDel), Painted Stave Distillery (Smyrna), Felton Little League (Felton) and Emanuel AME Church (Hartly), depending on distance, but all routes stop at the Amish Schoolhouse (Dover), where you’ll enjoy our famous, fresh, locally-baked pie.
