I have been an avid cyclist for many years but recently retired and which has afforded me the luxury of riding a few times per week. Most of my rides start in West Chester, PA and take in the scenic roads of Chester and Lancaster Counites.

## West Chester Cycling Club
About 15 years ago I helped found the [West Chester Cycling Club](https://www.wccyclingclub.com/). The club is based in the Borough of West Chester, PA offering access to some of the best riding in the Southeast PA region, including the Brandywine Valley, Amish Country and more. They hold over 500 rides a year and post regular group rides at all levels leaving from the West Chester town center (or nearby) almost every day of the week.

Although I ride less frequently with the club, I still love to ride and explore many of the roads in southeastern Pennsylvania. I also spend a month or more in Oregon each spring and fall and ride in and around Cannon Beach. Most of the rides are in the 30 to 50 mile range and very ridable.

I generally ride a road bike but I also love to get out on my gravel bike and occasionally will ride with a group of mountain bikers.

## West Chester, PA
Nestled in the heart of the Brandywine Valley just 30 minutes from Wilmington and 45 minutes from Center City Philadelphia, Downtown West Chester, Pennsylvania reflects the small-town charm and cosmopolitan tastes that prompted The Philadelphia Inquirer to call West Chester “…one of the world’s most perfect small towns.” West Chester is the county seat of Chester County and is a great place to start your ride. There are many restaurants and great shops as well as breweries and wineries in the area.

2. [Longwood Gardens](https://longwoodgardens.org/): Botanical garden that consists of over 1,000 acres of gardens, woodlands, and meadows in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania.
3. [Hotel Warner](https://www.hotelwarner.com/): A Historic Hotel of America in the converted Warner Theatre.

## Craft Beer & Cycling
In 1996 I founded Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant [Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant](https://ironhillbrewery.com/location/west-chester-pa/) and I love craft beer. Therefore I often plan rides from breweries I want to visit for a few beers after my rides.

I hope you enjoy the rides!
