Route Information

Participants can choose to complete one of our four fully marked and supported routes.  Your safety is important to us!  On the day of Bike to Beat Cancer, we will have signage alerting drivers to cyclists, as well as a team of LMPD officers to help direct traffic and riders in busier intersections throughout the route. Since signs and our safety crew will not be in place before the event, we ask that you please do not risk trying to pre-ride the route.  

All routes are subject to change. 

Along the route, there will be “Pit Stops” that will include pre-packaged snacks, hydration and an opportunity to rest.     

Notes for the 35- and 65- mile route riders:

• ​These routes begin with a lead and caboose LMPD vehicle to allow riders to arrive at the first pit stop safely. 
• Safety vehicles will be stationed along the routes at any vulnerable intersections. 
• Enjoy the beginning of the routes through low-elevation neighborhoods with regulated speeds. Watch for speed humps! 
• Both the 35- and 65- mile routes are front-loaded with significant hill climbs. Please note the elevation gains and be prepared to climb! 
• Scenic farms are plentiful throughout both routes for a picturesque ride. 
• The 65-mile riders will experience gentle rolling hills while in the Shelbyville area.
