What is Bike MS??
Bike MS is more than a ride. It’s an experience grounded in camaraderie and marked by passion, inspiration, determination and pure enjoyment. It will be an experience you’ll never forget, shared with new friends and old. Bike MS is the largest fundraising cycling series in the world. With Bike MS rides across the country, anyone, anywhere, can fuel progress. Last year alone this ride raised over $1 million dollars!

About this ride:
This two-day ride is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of our weeks as we enjoy the scenic farm lands of Illinois! We start our adventures at the Kane County Fairgrounds giving our cyclist options to ride any where from 35 - 175 miles over the course of Saturday and Sunday.
