Bike Rides in Indiana

The 29th annual Easter Ride, a one day bicycle tour sponsored by the Folks on Spokes bicycle club, will be held Sunday on April 18, 2010.

Since 1982 the Easter Ride has continually grown in popularity. It was listed as the Best Biking in America in Bicycling Magazine's April 1999 issue, and it has just gotten better each year. Drawing hundreds of riders each year, the ride is large enough to seem to be professionally run, yet small enough to really enjoy. Every year, the ride gets better and this year is no exception. The success of this invitational ride enables our Club to make generous donations to the League of American Bicyclists, League of Illinois Bicyclists, Active Transportation Alliance, and the Indiana Bicycle Coalition.

Pick one of Five routes through pastoral farmlands, wildflower filled woods, and friendly towns. Each route, 16, 25, 35, 45, and 68 miles (Actual route availability and mileage may vary) follows lightly traveled paved roads, and is fully marked. All routes leave from Governor's State University.

Food and fun is what the Easter Ride is all about. Rest stops along the route provide riders with fruit, drinks, sandwiches (including Easter egg salad sandwiches), and homemade cookies. Some of the rest stops will also have live musical entertainment.

From start to finish, the FOS crew will be working hard to help make your ride enjoyable.
