This Saturday and Sunday, June 25th and 26th, is the Bike MS 35th Year, Tour De Farms 2016. Bike MS: Tour de Farms is a ride that will take you further than you’ve ever gone before. What makes this ride so special? It gives you a chance to help thousands of people in Illinois living with MS, while enjoying the best bike event you’ve ever experienced. Escape the daily grind for a weekend of scenic roads with 2,000 cyclists of all ages and abilities. You choose how far you want to be challenged from 15-200 miles over the course of the weekend.
Start and finish at Northern Illinois University at the NIU Convocation Center, 1525 West Lincoln Highway, in DeKalb. Along the way stop at a local farm rest stop to hang with the animals, enjoy a famous egg and hamburger sandwich for lunch and pedal over rolling hills through the Northern Illinois farmland. At Saturday’s post-ride festival, celebrate your accomplishments with a full meal, live music and a relaxing beer garden.
In addition, you’ll experience an incredible level of camaraderie as you embark on a journey filled with laughter, excitement, support and a profound sense of accomplishment. Your participation will drive MS research forward faster, and deliver programs and services to those who face the challenges of MS every day. Registration fee is $60.
