Riders can ride *up to* 100 miles in a 25-mile loop, starting and finishing in Oil City, PA.  After the ride, all participants are invited to join us for a celebration at Scierka’s Tavern. Every registered participant will receive a $10 voucher for food and drinks.

The McMasters Open

Majority of McMasters Open proceeds is directly donated to Team Foster and the remainder is retained to grow the event and its future impact to subsidize Veteran event fees.
