Route options are designed to fit all types of cyclists. From beginners to experts, Bike MS is for everyone. The course is scenic and safe as in the past, and very similar to last year. To truly enjoy the ride, get ready for a few hills this year. The route is clearly marked with directional signs and arrows painted on the road. You’ll receive a cue sheet in your Rider packet when you check in.
Main Route
The main route is designed to include approximately 90 miles over two days with three optional loops. Ride all the loops for a century on Saturday. For a short option of just 22 miles, ride in the Taste of the Tour (at Tanglewood) on Saturday at 10am.
Challenge Options
You’ll have three challenge loops to choose from on Saturday. All cyclists start at the same location. Those of you planning to do the century will start at 7:30am, turning off the main route to ride all three loops. Each loop rejoins the main route. If you don’t want to go that far but want an extra challenge, start with everyone else at 8:00am and choose any loop. You must reach a loop’s starting point before its scheduled closing time listed below.
Scenic Challenge: extra 21 miles
Welcome Burn: extra 16 miles
Taste of the Tour: extra 15 miles
