    What is a Bicycle Touring Event?

    Are you new to cycling and wondering whether you can participate in one of these events? Touring events are not races and are not timed. They are organized bicycle rides featuring pre-marked routes and ride support. You can ride at your own pace alone or with a group. It's a great way to meet other cyclists and discover new routes! Not from the area? Make plans for a road trip.

    Bring your bike, helmet, repair kit, other essentials, and a friendly outlook. All riders are expected to ride safely and obey the rules of the road. TWBC supplies well-marked routes, cue sheets, maps, rest stops with food, water, and restrooms, suppport vehicles (sag wagons), and dessert at the finish line.

    Daily Bike Rides

    We also offer a variety of free daily bicycle rides. View the online rides calendar.
