Join us for the 40th annual tour through the largest Amish community in Illinois. The event will feature five (5) loops of various distances between 10 and ~30 miles. Ride as many or as few as you’d like. Terrain is flat to rolling, and appropriate for all riders and bicycle types.
Enjoy quiet backroads, where horse-drawn buggies and cottage industries are numerous.
A central rest stop, located at the start/stop point, will offer snacks, fruit and drinks.

To celebrate 40th annual milestone, SWAG is available for the first 200 registrants!
