15-Mile: The Walkersville Loop 🏡
The day begins at Rockwell Brewery in Frederick, heading east toward scenic Mt. Pleasant and then north toward Walkersville. Enjoy views of this quaint town and its picturesque houses before reaching your rest break at the historic Heritage House on Heritage Farm Park. This stop provides the perfect fuel to set your sights through the final stretch of rural farmland roads, finishing strong back at Rockwell Brewery where rewarding, tasty cold beers await!
30-Mile: The Utica Covered Bridge Tour 🌉
This course begins exactly like the 15-Mile route, starting at Rockwell Brewery and rolling through Mt. Pleasant and Walkersville. After your first stop at the Heritage House, the adventure extends north! Head past Utica Park and pedal over one of the area's most beloved treasures, the Historic Utica Covered Bridge. You'll continue on less-traveled rural roads toward Lewistown before looping back for a second rest stop at Heritage House. Return triumphantly to Rockwell Brewery for refreshing cold ones and live music!
45-Mile: The Three Covered Bridge Challenge 🌳
The ultimate Frederick County ride, the 45(47)-Mile course encompasses the full scenic experience of the 15 and 30-Mile routes. After crossing the Historic Utica Covered Bridge and winding through the less-traveled roads of Lewistown, the ride extends even further north toward the picturesque community of Thurmont. Here, you'll cross over not one, but two more historical landmarks: the Historic Loys Station Covered Bridge and the Historic Roddy Road Covered Bridge. Enjoy the quintessential rural farmland roads of Frederick County before looping back for the final rest stop at Heritage House. Finish strong at Rockwell Brewery for the most rewarding and refreshing post-ride beer you'll ever have!

Two tasty craft beers waiting for you when you cross the finish line! There's no better prize than that. The charity raffle was a great way to conclude the event!
JEFF

Very smooth overall experience. They clearly do their best to avoid as many stops, left-hand turns, and hazards on the road. A well-thought-out route with plenty of rest stops.
BROOKS

The ride was great to do with my girlfriend and other friends! The after-party is a game-changer that sets it apart from other rides I've done. Keep the party going with some beers & live music!

Great route design with lots of ride support. Route arrows were easy to follow. I was happy to see the Bikes & Beers pint glasses waiting for us as we returned. Ahhh BEER!

MUCH MORE THAN A BIKE RIDE
Out of our shared love for cycling, craft beer, and giving back to the local community, Bikes & Beers was born! We knew from the start this combination was a match made in heaven. Our events bring cyclists of all levels together for a fun, challenging weekend ride followed by an unforgettable post-ride brewery party!
The Bikes & Beers experience is about celebrating the journey and the destination. Every ride features well-marked routes, mechanical support, and scenic views, ensuring you have the best possible time on two wheels. When you cross the finish line, the reward is waiting: a celebratory atmosphere at one of America's best craft breweries, complete with complimentary craft beers, live music, local food trucks, and plenty of camaraderie.
Since our first event in 2013, we've continuously strived for improvement in both the cycling and beer experience. This passion has allowed us to grow exponentially, hosting Bikes & Beers at over 80 breweries in 20 states with more than 135,000 cyclists attending! But our mission extends beyond the ride; we are dedicated to supporting the communities we visit, raising awareness and funds for local cycling advocacy groups.
Our riders mean everything to us. You are the heartbeat of Bikes & Beers, and your support fuels our ability to grow and give back. Thank you for joining us on this incredible journey!
