About This Ride
Kick off our America250 “Ride 250 Miles” Summer Challenge with a beautiful, beginner‑friendly ride on the Jack A. Markell Trail. This flat, scenic route is perfect for first‑time e‑bike riders and seasoned cyclists alike, offering waterfront views, wildlife, and smooth, easy miles to start your summer journey.
As the First State to ratify the U.S. Constitution, Delaware plays a special role in America’s 250th anniversary. Throughout 2026, Delaware’s history shines — from colonial roots to Separation Day celebrations in historic New Castle. This ride taps into that spirit of independence, community, and movement.
