Riding to The Rescue

Get ready to pedal with a purpose at Riding to The Rescue, a charity cycling event taking place on Saturday, June 27, 2026, in scenic Oakdale, PA. Starting and finishing at the welcoming Helicon Brewery, this event invites cyclists of all abilities to join the fight against human trafficking, supporting The Asservo Project (TAP). Riders can choose their challenge from a family-friendly 3-mile ride, or opt for longer distances of 17M, 35M, or the ultimate 60M journey. The routes will guide participants along the picturesque Panhandle and Montour Trails, known for their generally flat to gentle paved surfaces, offering a pleasant and engaging experience for all.

Participants will find ample support along their chosen course, with snacks and refreshments provided at the start, finish, and for 60-mile riders, at the turnaround point. A hearty lunch awaits all cyclists upon their return to the brewery, fostering a sense of camaraderie and achievement. Typical race day conditions in late June for Oakdale, PA, feature pleasant highs around 82F and comfortable lows near 62F, with a modest 17% chance of precipitation. Beyond the ride, the event encourages a fundraising effort, with different minimums for each distance, offering incentives like waived registration fees and special swag for dedicated fundraisers. A bike mechanic will also be on-site from Pro Bike + Run to assist with any last-minute adjustments or quick fixes, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable ride for everyone. Helmets are mandatory for all distances, and a spare inner tube and tools are recommended for longer rides.
