Volunteers from local bike shops, riding groups, and other community clubs are our group leads at Bikeout. These individuals are excited to use their expertise to support others on their journey to bike camp.

There is no rain date for our rides & we’ll travel rain or shine. Our group leaders have been briefed on how to manage inclement weather scenarios during Bikeout, whether on a ride or on-site. If there is severe weather that poses a significant safety risk to Bikeout riders, you'll hear directly from our team about next steps.

On Saturday we will provide an afternoon snack upon arrival at camp, a hearty communal dinner prepared by Camp Kweebec staff, and two drink tickets per rider (must be 21+). Breakfast and coffee will be provided on Sunday morning. You are responsible for bringing lunch for both days, snacks, as well as water. There will be places to refill water along the route.

Many bikes are OK for Bikeout, as long as it’s in safe, working order. You can ride a commuter, a road bike,  or a professional touring bike but before you make your choice please remember you should feel comfortable and confident riding this bike for a few hours at a time.

It's possible road bikes will not be recommended for all rides, please read more about our route terrain on each trip page for more information. We strongly encourage all riders to schedule a tune up before Bikeout.

‍

In an effort to make Bikeout as broadly accessible as possible, we are offering tickets on a sliding scale, which means you get to determine the price that fits your means from three options: sustainer rate ($225), base rate ($185), and discount rate ($150). 

A sliding scale is used to encourage people to pay according to their available resources. Those with greater financial privilege contribute more, allowing those with less access, to pay according to their means. This allows us to sustain Bikeout while making accessibility as broad as possible. Learn more and figure out where you fall on the sliding scale here.

Riders are responsible for bringing their own bike, helmet, and tire tubes. Those who choose to sleep in a cabin will be responsible for bringing a sleeping bag or sheets and a pillow. If you choose to tent camp, you will be responsible for all camping equipment including a tent, sleeping bag, and sleeping pad. We will provide a packing list with other recommended essentials after you purchase a ticket. We also recommend reviewing the "What's Included" section above and if you need assistance with rentals please contact our team directly. Please note helmets are mandatory at Bikeout.

Bikeout welcomes participants age 14 and up. Riders under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

The Pennsylvania Environmental Council is a non-profit organization. While we do not intend to earn a profit from Bikeout, any proceeds generated by the event will support our Circuit Trails Coalition Community Grant Program, which intends to improve access to and increase use of the Circuit Trails, particularly in historically disinvested communities and among marginalized groups. Learn more about the program and meet current grantees here.
