You’re going to need to fuel up after that ride!

Monday, July 3: Bowman’s to Bowman’s Road Trip…again!  We had so much fun at this event in April that we’ve got to do it again. We’ll begin at Bowman’s Tavern in New Hope around 1 pm, then ride in comfort up to Bowman’s North in Riegelsville for barbecue. Then we’ll bring you back down to New Hope, hopefully sober enough to drive. Buy your tickets here!
