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 1.5-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.
