YMCA of the Brandywine Valley Benefit Bike Ride

The West Chester Area YMCA Benefit Bike Ride is a FREE family-oriented event. The ride benefits the YMCA Financial Assistance Program, which helps send kids to camp and teaches them how to swim. Funds raised during the ride ensure that everyone can benefit from YMCA membership and programs, regardless of their ability to pay.

Registration starts at 7:00 am with FREE family activities throughout the day. Our special gues, Adam Joseph, 6ABC News Meteorologist, will be present to cheer you on!

Start at the West Chester Area YMCA on Airport Rd. or the URA Fields in Unionville (near 1664 W. Doe Run Rd.) to cycle the full 80 mile course, or choose distances of 40, 25, 15 or 8 miles. The 8 through 80-mile rides receive full SAG support. Riders who wish to combine loops can extend their day to 2:00 pm. Roads are well marked and cue sheets will be provided.
