Celebrate the heat with the longest event on the Hottest Day of the year. This year's ride will feature free snacks, tasty beverages, 10 icey swimming spots, 3 start locations North, South and East and a bigger-than-ever benefit party to end the day.          


 

With proper clothing, hydration, and an open mind, we believe going by bike to the park, to the pool, a cafe, or for ice cream (especially for ice cream) is completely do-able, fun, and preferable for bicyclists of all ages and abilities.  Tickets are $5 for members, and $10 for future-members (Become a member now to save!).
