Be a part of the 34th annual Bike MS: Tour de Farms 2015, the two-day bike ride along the beautiful backroads of DeKalb County, Illinois, for a world free of MS! Select your own route length–up to 200 total miles. The Tour de Farms MS Bike Run is this weekend, Saturday and Sunday, June 27th and 28th, 2015.

Bike MS Tour de Farms is one of over 100 rides that happen across the US that raises money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Collectively these rides raise close to 90 million dollars annually with over 100,000 cyclists. Last year Bike MS: Tour de Farms raised over 1.45 million dollars for the National Multiple Sclerosis, Greater Illinois Chapter. The event attracts over 2100 riders and volunteers to the city of DeKalb each year. The bike ride takes place over two days and 200 miles and offers various route options for all levels of cyclists. This year’s event will take place at the Northern Illinois University Convocation Center, 1525 W. Lincoln Hwy. in DeKalb.

To help bring us closer to a world free of MS, each event participant agrees to raise the minimum pledge of $300. Cyclists can choose to ride one or two days, with route options ranging from 15-200 miles. Riders are fully supported on the routes with rest stops every 10-15 miles and 20 support-and-gear vans along the route. All participants and volunteers receive breakfast, lunch and dinner each day. On Saturday afternoon as cyclists finish up their ride they are invited over to the annual festival which offers food, bands, beer and more. Click here for the official website.
