This flexible cancellation policy provides riders with peace of mind should the weather not cooperate. The hotel also features an outdoor pool and fitness center, and its downtown location places numerous restaurants and attractions within walking distance.

Day One\u00a0will feature an approximately 235-mile ride to Williamsport with several comfort stops along the way. Lunch is tentatively planned at the Port Clinton Hotel.
