The Illinois Great Rivers Ride is a non-competitive, week-long ride that offers a range of one-of-a-kind experiences as it winds through Southern Illinois. This approximately 350 mile ride makes many stops along the way for bikers to discover Illinois' rich treasures.

We promise you a great experience on this ride with outstanding entertainment, reenactments, dinners and great spirits served each night. We look forward to having you on this ride.

The Illinois Great Rivers Ride is limited to the first 300 cyclists.
