A TOUR FOR ALL

Join the fun of the Pumpkin Pedal!! This is a wonderful ride for families and serious riders. This year’s 10, 20 & 26 mile trail rides will be entirely on the Great Western Trail. The 40 & 62 mile road rides will be on roads.

TEAM RIDERS

If you pre-register to ride with 5 or more team riders, you will all receive long-sleeved T-shirts. When registering you must choose the team rider ticket option and include the team’s name. Without the team name on your registration, we won’t know you are a team rider and you won’t receive a long-sleeved T-shirt.

 WHY BIKE?

Besides the fun you’ll have and the great people you’ll meet, you’ll be riding to help Special Olympics athletes.  Your entry will support year-round training for Illinois athletes with intellectual disabilities.

JUST ENJOY THE RIDE

All you have to do is bring your bike and helmet, your family, your friends and pedal!!  We’ll take care of the rest! You’ll find:

1. Rest stops with snacks
2. Emergency mechanical support
3. A delicious post-ride meal at Sycamore Speedway from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. A vegetarian option will be available.

HEALTH & SAFETY

Our main concern!! Please observe the following:

1. Bike helmets required!
2. Stay to the right.
3. Pass cyclists and walkers on the left and say “passing on your left”.
