Bike Ride Route
On Saturday, May 4, join Des Moines Parks and Recreation for the 2024 Mayor's Annual Ride!
The 22-Mile Bike Ride will start at the Municipal Service Center 1 (1551 E. Martin Luther King, Jr. Pkwy.) and will go north following the Des Moines River.
FEES
Adult Ride: $35 per adult before May 4 | $50 on-site
Youth Ride: $5 for ages 5 through 17 | Children 4 and younger are free
The registration fee for adults includes a t-shirt, an entry to win a free bike, refreshments at a rest stop along the route, and good company. The registration fee for youth does not include a t-shirt.
NEW for 2024: Are you a minimalist that doesn't care much for more 'stuff' and would rather pass on receiving the annual t-shirt? Or would you just like to Support the Ride to ensure it continues to be a great tradition, even if you don't plan on riding yourself? The $15 "I Support" registration option is just for you!
