2018 flower petal toss to start the ride

After 2020’s month-long adaptation to the Tour de Fleur, the organizing team has once again reimagined, only this time to a weeklong extravaganza exploring Billings’ best bike trails. This seven-day spread will allow for smaller crowds and safer gathering.  

The rolling start to this week is a 15-mile in-person ride for experienced cyclists only. After that, each ride comes with a different theme: (Family Day at ZooMontana, Mechanic Day+Ride at the Spoke Shop, Multi-Use Trails Day-run, walk, or ride; Ladies Day starts at the Shops at Shiloh Crossing, Couples Day, and wrapping things up with a Bike Parade!) 

Register to participate in one, some, or all of the rides! (Registering gets your name entered into the various drawings happening all week). What was once a ride for women and children only, is now open to all genders. This is a donate-to-participate event that supports our growing trails system.
