This ride is supported in part by Great Rivers Greenway through their Gateway Bike Plan initiative.

Registration is FREE. All ages are welcome, but children 17 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Must be able to ride a bike without training wheels at a moderate pace (8 - 10 mph). Class 1 & 2 e-bikes are welcome. No scooters. 

Please carry at least one bottle of water and wear a helmet. We will have a technician present for minor technical issues, but it is best to be prepared with extra tires and a charged cell phone. It is good practice to do a quick safety check on your bike before any ride. Check out this video for instructions on how to perform ABC quick check.
