6/11/26 - 4th Annual Miles for Mark, Benefits Millheim Pool (Panini Truck)

Miles for Mark is an annual celebration of life for Pedals and Pints founding member Mark Rupert. The evening is about riding, remembering Mark, and raising money for local charities — something he was truly proud of. After the ride, we hold a raffle with prizes from sponsors, bike shops, and local organizations. You can purchase as many tickets as you’d like. This year, money collected goes to the Millheim Pool, home of the Penns Valley Penguins Swim Team, which is currently undergoing major repairs.
PLEASE RSVP! In case we need to invite a 2nd food truck for the crowd.
–> Can’t make it? Direct donations to the pool can be made anytime here: givebutter.com/bring-our-team-home-save-the-millheim-pool-6jnpal 
About “Mark” in Miles for Mark.
Mark — founding member of PVPP, Roy’s brother, and our support driver — loved cycling year-round, logging more hours than most. He rode to work, to Elk Creek, and to meet up with friends and family even in winter. Mark passed away three years ago. Each June, we ride in his honor and raise a glass to his legacy, positivity, laughter, and friendship. Never met Mark? That’s okay — join us and raise one anyway! We know he would have loved meeting you.
