The Route
Like last year, we’ll be hosting two routes so that everyone can fully enjoy the ride!
- The 3-mile Full Ride is perfect for comfortable bike riders and people who would like to take a faster-paced ride around the neighborhood.
- The 1.75-mile Family-Friendly ride is a slower-paced ride required for those 8 years old and under, but open to anyone.
Bikes with pedals only, helmets are required, no strider bikes or scooters. The course is NOT closed to cars.
Thank You to Our Sponsors!
