Today will be one of the best days to be on a bike. We will traverse the Skyline Drive which is host to some of the best views of the Shenandoah Valley.
Day #2: Front Royal, VA to Cumberland, MD (view photos)
We'll continue our meandering through the back roads of VA, WV, and MD today. Today's ride will climb some mountains and explore some very scenic valleys in W. Virginia. We'll finish just outside of Cumberland, MD at a boy scout camp to enjoy an evening out.
Day #3: Cumberland, MD to Chambersburg, PA

Day 3 will be one the wackier days of the ride. You won't know what state you are in most of the time as we bounce along the MD, PA border. We'll also do a little wading today as we cross 2 small streams, so bring your flip flops.
Day #4: Chambersburg, PA to Duncannon, PA (view photos)
We start off today on one of our shortest rides of this years PPRAC. To keep things interesting we'll have about a million turns to make. We'll stay cool for a part of the day as we cruise up through the scenic Michaux State Forest. We arrive in Duncannon, PA nestled along the Susquehanna river later in the day.
Day #5: Duncannon, PA to Bloomsburg, PA

Today will be another typical PA bicycle day. Lots of rolling hills and farm land. The ride will also take us through the river communities of Northumberland, Sunbury and Catawissa before we cross the river one more time to enter the town Bloomsburg.
Day #6: Bloomsburg, PA to Palmerton, PA

A true PPRAC classic. One ridge after another lays before us as we wind down a fantastic week of cycling. It also gives us a chance to remember why we are here. We push ourselves with the hope of finding a cure for cancer and to help terminally ill children enjoy their precious time here.
