Cycle for Life

Calling
all cyclists beginner to advanced! For a unique bicycling experience,
join us for the inaugural Aptalis CF Cycle For Life®. This
one day bike ride will take place on Sunday, September 15 and includes a
choice of two cyclist designed routes (30 & 50 miles). You can
cycle as an individual or gather your friends, family and/or colleagues
to join you as a team (min. 3 cyclists per team).




The ride begins and ends at Roselea Farm and passes through some of the
most scenic country settings just west of Pittsburgh. You’ll get to
experience rolling hills, picturesque farmland, lush forests all while
pedaling on cycle-friendly roads.

cycling routes but a healthy challenge and good time for recreational
