Annual Bike Rides in the USA
Here’s Our Annual Bike Rides List Of Great 1 To 2 Day Events
These annual bike rides underscore that there is simply no better way to get to know a place than by pedaling around and through it. And, there’s no better way to make new friends (or deepen old relationships) than by riding together. Fortunately, we know of a large number of biking events around the country that let you do just that. Below is a list of one- and two-day biking events around the U.S. Some are for charity, some are celebrations, some are road, and some are on rail-trails, but the common denominator is a group of folks out enjoying a day or two on a bike. (There are a couple longer rides included because they are really cool.) Most of these events have a relatively low registration fee, anywhere from $20 to $100. Mileage varies from 20 miles all the way up to 100+ “century” rides. The events are listed during the month when they are held. If you have a favorite ride that we missed, contact us and we’ll add it to this list.
