August Hanover Fire Dept Breakfast Road Ride (August 09, 2026)

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Fireman's Breakfast Ride - Weather Dependent

Main Loop Details (40 miles)

START: arrive at 7:45am, latest arrival time 8:00am with a latest roll-out at 8:05am
LOCATION: Fountain Library Parking Lot
ROUTE: Strava Route - HFD Breakfast Loop - 40 miles with 1,500 feet climb
FOCUS: Group will ride together out of town and try to stay together as much as possible. Some rolling hill make this tricky on the first leg. 16+ mph overall average but some sections might dabble into 18-20 mph. Faster riders can ride ahead to the regroup or double back to add miles. Rear lights required.
REGROUP: Regroups will occur at each change of direction - northeast corner, southeast corner (this stop is for breakfast at the Hanover Fire Station) and southwest corner
SAFETY: Traffic is very light and for the most part the road is in good condition.

FOCUS, SAFETY & REGROUP: The down and back parts of this ride will be a faster pace than the loop and on busier roads than the main route. Riders need to be prepared for a much bigger day both physically with training and preparation with hydration/food/mechanical fixes.

Hydration & Fuel

In the event that the fire department is not doing breakfast (we do not actually check if the event is on before the ride), make sure to be prepared with enough food and water just in case. But the only time they've been closed to my knowledge is during Covid. At the half way point for both routes we stop at the Hanover Fire Station to eat. It's a cash or credit breakfast with many breakfast items made to order. Would estimate around 5 dollars would set you up plus it's nice to drop a good tip since it's a fundraiser. Typically the group will finish before noon back at the library. - Happy Riding
