The
Civista Potomac Heritage Bicycle Tour will be on Sunday,
October 12, 2008. Routes of 14, 33, 60, 80, and 100 miles
start and end in La Plata, Maryland. Come ride for your
health and the health of those served by the Civista Medical
Center. The event is sponsored by the Civista Health Foundation
which raises funds for Civista Medical Center. Proceeds
will benefit necessary renovations of the pharmacy which
provides critical services to hundreds of patients each
and every day. All routes, from the casual 14-mile family
ride to the challenging 100-mile century route, will take
cyclists along the scenic on-road bicycle route of the Potomac
Heritage Trail. Riders will leave La Plata starting at 7:00
am and pass through historic Port Tobacco and climb a short
hill to a spectacular view from Chapel Point. The longer
routes continue along lightly travelled back roads with
rest stops throughout. The century route then heads through
Amish country to Leonardtown. Cyclists will return to La
Plata to the Crossing
at Casey Jones, where they will enjoy an after-ride
party with food and entertainment. The pre-registration
fee of $30 covers rest stops along the route, SAG support,
marked routes, cue sheets and maps and the after-ride party.
The first 250 entrants also receive a t-shirt and souvenirs.
Riders are encouraged to pre-register to be assured of getting
