Take a Break

Let your ride take you to a new turnaround destination, or better yet take a tour that includes multiple stops along the way. You can only ride so far without refueling and taking a rest. 

Numerous businesses certified as bicycle friendly can be found trailside or close to one of the many excellent route options in featured Welcome Cyclists regions.
