The non-competitive ride utilizes low-traffic roads, bike lanes and part of the Lake to Lake trail (non-technical gravel) and traverses much of the city. Afterwards, enjoy a post-ride party with prize giveaways, and a free kids ride in the park for children ages 3-8. Registration is required for the Kids Ride. Proceeds from the event benefit the city's youth program donation fund.
