The 2026 Ride Experience
The route is described as “a scenic lap around Catawba Island.”
Ride through many of the island’s local neighborhoods offering charm and lower traffic — making it a comfortable ride for a wide range of participants.
You’ll ride through a mix of coastal roads, charming residential zones, and scenic views of Lake Erie—all while staying on a course tailored for a morning of enjoyable cycling.
The terrain is suitable for most road cyclists; it balances scenic enjoyment with a solid 30-mile distance that delivers a meaningful ride without being an ultra-endurance challenge.
Riders will follow much of the 30-mile route, with an added special 20-mile loop to bring the total up to 50 miles.
Scenic coastal roads, glimpses of Lake Erie, and gentle terrain make this a great long-ride option that balances challenge with enjoyment.
Because this is a longer distance, riders are encouraged to complete it within 5 hours (approximate 10 mph average) to ensure full access to aid station support.
*Routes are subject to change.
Since this ride is on open roadways, riders are strongly encouraged to have lights on the front & back of their bike to give extra visibility to traffic.
