We have changed the date for this ride to early June instead of Labor Day Weekend. We’re hoping this change will be a kick-off to summer riding and allow more people to attend.

We’re very excited to announce that we have partnered with Land-Grant Brewing Company as our starting and ending location. There will be a great post-ride party with a wide range of activities, including vendor stalls, food trucks and entertainment.

The route will be approximately 30 miles long with a shortcut for a 10 mile option, making it accessible for riders of all ages and skill levels.

All routes will be marked and Ride with GPS files will be provided a few days before the ride. Paper maps will also be available. There will be leads and sweep riders to ensure no one gets lost!

Note: Riders planning to do the 30 mile route, need to be able to ride an an average pace of 10 mph. Riders who cannot maintain that pace, should plan to ride the 10 mile route option.

All participants must register online!
