Come for the crab soup, stay for the scenic ride

Shore Boys famous cream of crab soup, homemade treats and friendly volunteers await you in Talbot County, Maryland where you’ll find some of the most scenic roadways and water views on the Easton Shore. Early Bird Registration: $45. Price increases after February 14, 2022. 

The Spring Classic starts and ends at Easton Middle School, 201 Peach Blossom Road. Packet pickup is at 8 a.m. A light lunch is provided at the end of your ride. The event takes place rain or shine.

Step One.

Pick a distance. You have three beautiful, well-supported (SAG) routes with rest stops to choose from. Whether you’re an avid cyclist or beginning rider there’s an option for you:

●       25 mile ride: an easy pedal south to Trappe and back to Easton Middle School.

●       50 mile ride: a spin around Talbot County via Trappe and back.

●       62 mile ride: travel south around Talbot County through Trappe and head north through Oxford before returning to Easton Middle School. 

Step Two.

Start a team to make it more fun. Invite your fellow bike enthusiasts, friends, family, and co-workers to join you or they can choose a different route and everyone will meet at the finish line. 

Step Three. (Optional) 

Become a Fundraiser for Positive Strides. Although fundraising is optional, we could use your help to reach our goal of $22,000 for 2022.

Spring Classic 2022

Positive Strides’ Spring Classic is a community event that unites people of all ages and fitness levels to have fun and fundraise for men, women and children of the Eastern Shore. From autism and addiction recovery to PTSD and cerebral palsy, equine therapy can play a powerful role in giving a person the confidence and skills they need to live a happier and more independent life. 

Spring Classic is fun, focused and full of energy! It’s so much more than a bike ride. Follow Positive Strides on Facebook where you’ll find info on this year’s ride and photos from past rides.
