Door County's Ride for Nature

The Ride for Nature to Benefit The Ridges Sanctuary will be held on Saturday, June 19th. A familiar bike ride to Door County cycling enthusiasts, the 22nd Annual Ride for Nature will have a new appeal. The Peninsula Pacers - the organizers of the Door County Half Marathon - has partnered with The Ridges Sanctuary to ensure that riders of all abilities will enjoy this foray into the back roads of the Door Peninsula.

The most noticeable and exciting change in this year’s Ride for Nature will be the addition of a new century ride in Door County. The 100-mile route Leaves from the Baileys Harbor Town Hall, similar to the 50 mile, 25 mile, as well as a 15-mile Family Ride, Door County’s newest Century Ride will test even the most proficient riders in their early season of outdoor riding, taking them to the tip of the peninsula and as far south as Carlsville.

All participants will receive food and beverages at the rest stops.
