A Great Ride for a Great Cause!

Hundreds came out for this ride despite the cold and rainy weather. In fact, this year saw almost 500 cyclists (617 registrations total) riding 30 or 65 miles to raise over $112,000!

About the Bike:MS River Ride

The annual River Ride is a beautiful one-day bike ride that takes cyclists on a gently rolling route along the Clarion River. It's a fun, fall ride for cyclists of all levels. See below for information about last year's ride.

There are two route options: an easier 35 mile option for beginners and recreational cyclists and a tougher 65 mile option for more of a challenge. .

This ride is fully supported and we promise:
