  • 63 mile: Ride around the lake via the path along the dam, scenic neighborhoods and farm roads with plenty of opportunities to explore restaurants and retail businesses along the way and take an extended adventure up to the Dawes Arboretum to explore all the botanic beauty the Arboretum has to offer. There will be a well-marked cutoff that will shorten the ride if you want to make a mid-course correction.

  • 11 mile: Pedal along the lakefront via the path along the dam. Perfect for families.

Routes for 2024 have NOT been finalized. They are finalized the week before the Tour based on construction projects and road conditions, but the routes should be representative of the final 2024 routes.
