We welcome you to our 9th annual bike tour and to our beautiful community.
On your quiet adventure you will wind through scenic byways and along historic waterways as you explore what makes our community so unique. We’ve tied in some of the best historic attractions such as The Laurel Heritage Museum, The Cook House, Historic Bethel, Bethel Museum, and Old Christ Church to name a few. Along the way enjoy important waterways that make up a portion of the Chesapeake Watershed , the Nanticoke River Trail, Mason Dixon In Delmar, and The Sussex County Historic and Scenic Byway. Of course, the ride would not be complete without a stop at our true gem – Trap Pond State Park.
You will be wild about us! Wilderness Trails, Wildlife, and quiet adventure awaits!
Bike and Brew scheduled for June 6, 2020 is going to look a little differently this year. In years past this event has taken riders by the Old Christ Church, The Cook House, Bethel Museum, Trap Pond, The Woodland Ferry and the scenic roadways of our Western Sussex. With the changes in our world today, we cannot gather and ride this race together at this moment in time. However, we can do a virtual distance ride on our own and then celebrate the accomplishment of completion by thinking and riding outside of the box.
Riders can sign up for their choice of a 15-mile, 25-mile or 50-mile, Metric Century and Century ride. This ride will take place on the riders’ own course between June 5-7. Riders can pedal their stationary bike or safely ride on their own outside at their location. We are asking participants to post their time and a picture if they choose on our Bike and Brew webpage.
On September 26, 2020 we will come together and celebrate our accomplishment with music and food at Janosik Park on Broadcreek in Laurel. At that time riders will be given a “Bike and Brew 2020” t-shirt and goodie bag. Out of area riders will be sent their Bike & Brew shirt in the mail.
Western Sussex Chamber of Commerce and our Bike and Brew Partners will also acknowledge three of our Western Sussex High School rising Seniors with a monetary award.The only criteria is the student’s resident is Western Sussex County and they complete an application found on our website (April 15th–July 15th) to include an essay of a time in their life when they accomplished a goal by thinking outside the box to overcome an obstacle.The award will be used for post-secondary support for education or training
