When you spend time in downtown Dover, it can be easy to forget about the rural areas located just outside of the city. Forget the hustle and bustle of life on the green and head out to tour the Amish country outside of Dover on the annual Delaware Amish Country Bike Tour, this September 8th, beginning at 8 a.m..

Dover's Amish country is home to thousands of Amish men, women, and children in hundreds of households, often on farms of large plots of land.

Driving, walking, or biking through this area just outside of our capital city is a true treat that feels like a step back in time.
Every year, Delaware cyclists gather to take a bike tour of the scenic Amish country. This year, the ride will be held on September 8th.
