What's Bike to the Beat?

Bike to the Beat isn’t just a bike ride—it’s a party on wheels! Picture this: you, your family, and friends cruising through scenic routes with the soundtrack of live music filling the air, and the smell of delicious food waiting at every stop. From cheesy, delicious pizza and crispy wings to legendary Scotcheroos and cheese curds, this ride is all about indulging while you pedal!

With various routes for any skill level, you set the pace. Stop as often as you like, soak in the music, grab a cold Bike to the Brew beer or refreshing beverage and make memories along the way. Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or finally dusting off that bike from the garage, this event is for YOU.

And the best part? Every mile you ride supports the Fox Cares Foundation, helping make a difference in our community. So, come for the ride, stay for the fun, and leave knowing you’ve done something amazing.

Ride. Rock. Repeat.
