4.5 Mile Route - 99% Trails! Download Route Here.

This FREE ride is capped at 150 riders to keep down route congestion and keep the group together. Check-in begins at 8:30am at Bracket park with activities for kids and adults alike (there are bathrooms and playground in the immediate vicinity).

Guided Ride - We'll Ride Together

We will roll out together at 9am heading east on the Midtown Greenway until we hit the river and head north on West River Parkway Trail and across the Franklin Bridge with beautiful views of the Mississippi River. From there we'll head south along East River Parkway trail until we get to the Lake Street Bridge and cross there to Loons Coffee for refreshments and socializing. We'll leave there to finish up the final mile heading north along the river until we're back to the Greenway and returning to the start at Bracket Park hopefully before noon.

What does this cost?

Nada, zilch, zero, but donations to cover costs are certainly appreciated. Registration/waiver is required and space is limited!

We thank Joyful Riders club and Loons Coffee for their sponsorship and support!

Helmets are required: Protect your melon! Safe cycling to all TCBT riders!
