The 50-mile, intermediate route, will continue from Victoria, and head to the ornately Gothic, sculpted Holy Cross Shrine in Pfeifer. You will hear a violin solo as Hays Symphony Conductor Brian Buckstead plays this acoustic gem. You will marvel at the details in the carved craftsmanship. There are restrooms open in the school next to the church. Deb Hoffman, a Pfeifer native, is providing tours; meet locals Patty and Janice hosting the SAG. There is one short (1/2 mile) incline at 3.7% grade; otherwise, the terrain is relatively flat. The fee for this ride is $45. It includes the post-ride German meal with live music, T-shirt and the Swag Bags. From this church, the route takes you back to Hays.
