Our NEW 4 mile route is a family-friendly loop, designed for the family with kids who are not ready for an open road ride – but want to see what a big bike rally is all about. In keeping with all our other routes, we have added some small hills for a bit of a challenge AND we have reworked the direction so that you start and finish in the same direction as all other routes. By utilizing the Finish Line as a Break Point, you can ride one, two or three laps, giving you distance options of 4, 8 or 12 miles.

Event will attract families, weekend warriors and avid cyclists to celebrate life in a day filled with fun
