This is a no-drop ride. Those who are most comfortable navigating on their own with Ride with GPS or road markings and don't need a "leader" will depart first. Then, riders will depart based on skill level and average speed. These groups will have "leads" and "sweeps" to ensure no one get's lost or dropped.
We're very excited to be adding a Family Registration option this year! The registration for this will be per family, not per person and will include the Bike Rodeo, 8 Mile Guided Ride, lunch and a raffle ticket for 2 adults and up to 4 children. T-shirts must be purchased separately (Kids sizes will be available.)
We will have a fantastic raffle! You can purchase additional tickets during packet pickup or the morning of the event. Prizes will be drawn after the riders depart and winners must pickup their prizes by 2:00 pm or forfeit them.
Packet-pickup will be held on Friday, September 1st from 5-7 pm at Hollywood Casino. Be sure to stop by the Vendor Expo that evening when you pickup your packet! Click here if you're interested in have a table at our Vendor Expo. (Non-Profits can participate for FREE.)
Event proceeds will benefit Yay Bikes!, a registered 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit, who influences the conditions that help people safely and comfortably ride bicycles for transportation.
Note: We will not be offering a 62 mile option this year. If you're looking for a long ride this same weekend, please consider the Ox Roast Ride which is held on Labor Day and benefits the Friends of Madison County Parks & Trails.
