We recognize that Sep. 13 falls amid Rosh Hoshana. Unfortunately this is the only day many of the volunteers are free, so moving Bike Fest to another date would mean we could not hold this annual event this year. We hope to avoid this conflict in 2027.

All rides include leaders, partial route markings, GPS links, maps, and post-ride luncheon.
