Preregistered cyclists can save $10 off the event-day registration price.

Registration price is $60 for adults and $20 for attendees ages 5-16 until Sept. 4. Day-of registration will increase to $70 per adult; the price for ages 5-16 will stay $20. Participants under 5 attend free.

The Amish Country Bike Tour is suited for people of all ages and abilities. It includes well-marked, easy-to-follow routes of 16, 25, 50, 63 or 100-mile loops that wind through the quiet, peaceful and flat Amish countryside of Kent County. Riders get a detailed map, food and access to multiple rest stops including the famous pie stop at the Amish Schoolhouse. After the ride, riders will enjoy a well-deserved catered picnic at the Delaware Agricultural Museum, with the option to purchase wine or beer as well, or tour the museum at a discounted entrance fee of $3.

The 2017 Amish Country Bike Tour included almost 1,500 cyclists from around the Mid-Atlantic Region and beyond. Through the changes instituted this year, Kent County Tourism and Bike Delaware hope that 2018 will bring even more participants from across the region to one of Delaware’s biggest events of the year.
