The Lollipop Ride

The O’Fallon Downtown District in collaboration with Bike Surgeon is inviting you to come out and celebrate National Trails Day with us. Enjoy a fun FREE supported ride on our awesome local bike trails with our first ever Lollipop Ride!

Join us for this fun bike trail ride from downtown O’Fallon, Illinois onto the amazing MCT Trail Network with ride distances for all. The five routes range from a family-friendly 2 mile short lollipop to the longest route of the day at 44 miles with awesome stocked rest stations throughout the routes. SAG support will be available for all riders through 1PM that day.

This will be a fun/family/trail rider focused event, leaving from Bike Surgeon and proceeding to the bike trail, heading north on Illini Trail with the longer routes continuing north on the MCT Trail Network. We will have volunteers at all major intersections helping you make your way safely to and back from the trail.

Ride check in will open at 8AM at the tent in front of Bike Surgeon and will be open until 9:30AM. All riders must check in, complete a rider waiver, and can pick up the map of their chosen distance. Riders can start their ride at any time between 8 and 9:30AM. Ride volunteers are on site to help keep riders safe, please pay attention to their directions. We will be riding on open roads and open trails with other users, so please follow all rules of the road and trail etiquette guidelines. Helmets are required to be worn by all participants for the duration of their ride.

The ride will finish at Bike Surgeon in the heart of the DownTown District, where lunch and refreshments will be available for purchase at the many downtown restaurants and bars including: Gears @ Bike Surgeon, Shooter’s BBQ, 1st Street Lounge, Boarding House Bistro, Peel Brewing, and Gia’s Pizza. Bring friends, bring the family, enjoy a great ride on our local trails and celebrate National Trail Day with us!
