The 50/75 begin at Antrim Park and the 30 mile route begins in Alexandria. 

The 50 mile ride starts at Antrim Park and ends in Mount Vernon, providing you with a wonderful training ride through Pelotonia country!   You also have the option to ride an additional 25 miles in lovely rolling Knox County, or the option of beginning your ride in Alexandria for a 30 mile experience.   This ride is unique with the lovely farm destination, restored antique buildings, a tour of famous private gardens, food and fun.  This is not just a ride, this is a summer event!

This event is supported by Consider Biking board members.  We promote all forms of bicycling and advocate to make communities more bike-friendly by working to create more places to ride.  Our mission is to get more people bicycling in Central Ohio.  Your rider registration and donations are extremely important and will enable us to continue our important work.

Riders are responsible for their own rides home. You can either have someone pick you up and for $10 donation they can enjoy music, food, libations and the garden tour. Riders can also drive up a day or two before the ride and leave a vehicle at the farm—there’s plenty of places to park.  If you want to carpool for the return trip (there is a question on the registration regarding transportation). 

At the Morgan Farm, we’ll have lunch, munchies and libations available throughout the afternoon, and will also have music. We are looking forward to a live performance by Captain Morgan!! Register Today!

We encourage you to bring/drop off some sandals, tennis shoes, etc. for the garden tour (although it’s probably fine to go barefoot, and this may be the best option since we have to ride about 1 ½ miles from the farm to get to the garden). The garden will be opened to us (exclusively) from 2-4 pm. This place is amazing!
