NEW 2023 Route Maps

Most routes have been modified or designed new for 2023! Planning cycling routes takes a lot of care and consideration and we thank the folks at Speed River Bicycle for helping to plan this year’s routes! Please be sure to check back on this page or watch your email for updates prior to the event. Sometimes routes may need to be augmented due to construction that is unknown at the time the routes are first designed.

This will be a route through the Village by the Arboretum. Follow the signs!
