From the Organizer
Join us for a fun Halloween-themed benefit ride along the Ghost Town Trail loop on October 10th, 2026!
While the ride is free, please register in advance — it helps us plan and ensures you’ll be first to hear about next year’s event!
This is a self-supported, ride-at-your-own-pace event starting at 11:00 AM at the YPCC Ebensburg Trailhead. We’ll ride the full 35-mile loop and finish back where we started. (The loop itself is 32-miles, but the extra ride to-and-from Ebensburg makes it 35-miles total!)
Halloween themed colors, makeup, and costumes are encouraged — just make sure your costume doesn’t interfere with bike safety. Helmets are encouraged, and a fun attitude is a must!
After the ride, we’ll all meet up for post-ride food and drinks at one of our favorite local spots, Coal Country Brewing!
This ride is free, but we kindly ask that riders make a donation to the CCCRA Friends of the Trails program — helping keep the Ghost Town Trail clean, beautiful, and accessible for everyone.
While this is not a race, we recommend that riders are able to carry their own water and food and maintain a pace of at least 8 mph, or be able to complete the loop within 5 hours.

From Endurance Grid
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it’s the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer’s event page.
Cycling events range from casual gran fondos to competitive road races. What they share is the sustained effort of putting miles behind you under your own power.
It's a sport that rewards pacing judgment as much as raw fitness. If you're new to cycling events, a local bike shop fitting is worth the investment.
Gran fondo, century rides, and road races. Built around sustained effort and pacing judgment.
