Join us for the 39th annual tour through the largest Amish community in Illinois. The event will feature four (4) loops of various distances between 10 and 30 miles. Ride as many or as few as you’d like. Terrain is flat to rolling, and appropriate for all riders and bicycle types.
Enjoy quiet backroads, where horse-drawn buggies and cottage industries are numerous.
A central rest stop, located at the start/stop point, will offer snacks, fruit and drinks.
