The 40-mile (approx 2,300 ft of climb), 60-mile (approx 3,700 ft of climb ) and 80-mile loops (approx 5,300 ft of climb) have shorter climbs, while the major hills are on the 100-mile loop! The 100-mile loop had ~7,700 feet of climb for 2024.

LifeLine 100 Ride

Click Here for Info & Event Registration
Registration will cap at 1,000 so register now to assure your spot!
The free Children’s Bike Rodeo for ages 4 – 10 and free Family Fun Safari Ride will take place at Kinder Farm Park on Oct. 4, 2026 from 10AM to 12PM. See the Kids Rodeo page for details on both children’s programs!
Lifeline100 is pleased to be an inclusive event offering scenic 65 and 100 mile county tours with water views and historic sites, 15 and 30 mile flat, paved trail rides; and the free children’s programs! We welcome riders with special needs and bikes of all kinds! We include a Lifeline 100 T Shirt with your registration and note that the sizes run a bit large.
Lifeline 100 is a “rain or shine” event. However, if together with our public safety partners we determine that conditions would be unsafe, the event may be cancelled. In the unlikely event of a cancellation we continue to support our nonprofits. Unfortunately there is no rain date, transfers to another event year, or refund (unless you purchased premium cancellation insurance at Active.com when you registered).
Effective June 1, 2026, we will raise and simplify our Regular and Late Registration fees to offset increased event costs. The fee will be the same for the 15/30 milers and also for the 65/100 milers. We are still offering our old earlybird rates until June 1, 2026

Amish Country Bike Tour
Saturday, October 10
Sponsored by Bike Delaware.
Also known as "the ride for pie," this is one of the region's favorite cycling events known for its unique character and atmosphere.
Covered Bridges Ride (Bucks County, PA)
Sunday, October 11
The premier cycling event in scenic Bucks County, PA presented by Central Bucks Bicycle Club (CBBC). Held each year on a beautiful Sunday with the gorgeous fall colors shouting out. Join 1000+/- riders from all over the northeastern United States and ride through some of the most beautiful areas in this part of the world.
Five great routes to choose from:
-- the family-friendly 20 and 30 mile routes (both use the towpath along the Delaware river, which is a fine-cinder and hardpacked dirt trail, for part of the ride), or -- the hillier 35, 50+ or 63+ mile ones (all on paved roads) and travel through up to six historic covered bridges.
All rides start and finish at Tinicum Park (Erwinna, PA) along the shores of the Delaware River and the hillier rides are supported by SAG vehicles. Plenty of great food and mechanical support at up to four rest stops. RIdes conclude with a Grand Finale Picnic lunch for all participants.
Walk-ins welcome or Register with discount at:
