Join us Saturday, May 5, 2012 for the Coulee Region Bike Tours, with your choice of three scenic rides. The Bike Tour is a leisure, noncompetitive, untimed event.

The 2012 Coulee Region Bike Tours have gone through some changes and updates to improve your experience.  With our new sponsor, River trail Cycles, we have developed three new routes to better suit all levels of riders.

Time
The Bike Tours will have a rolling start at 8:00AM. All riders must start by 8:30AM.

The Courses
The three tour options you can choose from each have incredible scenery and great cycling for all levels of riders!

A 5-mile family friendly ride on the trails through the marsh and back to Riverside Park.

A 32-mile is an easy flat ride through Goose Island, down to Stoddard and back to Riverside Park. This is a great ride for the beginner cyclist.

A 62-mile challenging ride with rolling hills, a few climbs and one large climb is your third option. This ride goes through Goose Island, down to Stoddard and through Chaseburg and Coon Valley for a very scenic ride.

Within the 62-mile ride, you have the option to ride a 43-mile loop by taking the 32-mile ride through Goose Island and Stoddard and then looping through Chaseburg for one large climb before heading back to Riverside Park.

All registration fees will stay the same and maps will be provided the day of the event for whichever ride you choose to take.
