From the Organizer
We are excited to return for our annual Cogs & Kegs bike ride! This year's event will begin and end at Lincoln Yard in Birmingham.
The 30-mile route departs at 6:30 PM and is for experienced riders, keeping a fast pace around 18 miles/hour. This ride is not for the faint of heart, so please only choose this distance if you are a seasoned rider and can stay with the group.
Casual riders are encouraged to choose the 10-mile route which will begin at 7 PM.
Registration for both events will open at 5:30 PM.
All riders will enjoy a post-ride celebration with dinner and a beer at Lincoln Yard upon their return. Bike racks will be available and monitored while participants enjoy their meal.
Helmets are required, and both the 10-mile and the 30-mile routes will have police escorts for safety. Thank you to the Bloomfield Township Police Department, Michigan State Police, Beverly Hills Department of Public Safety, and City of Birmingham Police Department!
