The Amish Tour is enjoyed for its flat, flat, flat roads (Kent County is about two feet above sea level), its camaraderie, the slice of locally-baked fruit pies served at the Amish Schoolhouse, the panoramic countryside, a route that includes working Amish farms, getting up close and personal at the Amish Schoolhouse, enjoying “small town America,” and, of course, the catered barbecue meal at the end of their ride.
