Pedal the Peace Rides - Our Story
Pedal the Peace Rides began in 2019 as a competitive bike time trial fundraiser for the Rock Trail Coalition. Proceeds from that first event helped pave four miles of the Peace Trail. While the race was fun and competitive, it became clear the format limited long-term growth.
In 2023, the event evolved to better serve the cycling community. We added three social routes and opened the ride to cyclists of all abilities. Since then, participation has grown steadily, with many riders returning each year and bringing friends and family along.
What's New This Year
Pedal the Peace Rides is now a la carte:
- $10 registration
- Optional event shirt
- Optional post-ride lunch
Choose what you want, skip what you don't.
With a dedicated team of volunteers, we deliver a high-quality boutique ride featuring beautiful routes and well-supported rest stops.
Registration is limited to 200 riders. Once we reach capacity, registration closes - so don't wait!

Rock Trail Coalition's primary goal in hosting this event is to encourage Peace Trail use. That is why we are only charging $10. However, it is also our biggest fundraiser each year. For those who are able, we ask that you give to our cause of building and maintaining great trails in Rock County. Thank you!
