The business runs three signature ten-mile experiences: the Feel the Power Tour with electric pedal assist and an interpretive stop at the Brookfield Hydroelectric Power Plant; Sunset Rails and Ales, an evening riverside ride with scheduled refreshment breaks; and Peddlin' and Pumpkin Pickin', a seasonal fall run that concludes at Myles Pumpkin Patch.
