Bikes & Beers Social Distancing Ride
Bikes and Beers Presents: The Social Distancing VIRTUAL CYCLING EVENT!
The Cycling Event that you can do anywhere, anytime, and support local craft breweries! Proceeds will benefit Covid-19 Relief Efforts.
Sign up, start riding, log your miles, and get your Rider Appreciation Package (see below!) Show the entire country how awesome cyclists are!
SO WHAT’S A VIRTUAL RIDE ANYWAY?! A virtual ride you complete on your own, or with friends. It can be done out in the fresh air or on your indoor trainer, etc. Track your mileage weekly to be entered to win prizes (more info below!)
We value how important exercise is in a time like this to continue your fitness goals, stay healthy, and just clear your mind for a few hours. Remember to ride in small groups (less than 6) and maintain a 6-foot distance from one another for safe social distancing practices.
In light of the current events surrounding our country, breweries have been forced to temporarily close tasting rooms - AND THEY NEED OUR HELP! Join our community of cyclists all around the country for the largest Virtual Cycling Event ever! We have partnered with over 40 Breweries Nationwide (and adding more daily!) to make this happen.
Three Main Benefits For You!
1. Solitary, socially distanced exercise inside and outside on your bike!
2. Promote your local breweries and increase taproom sales once re-opened
3. Support COVID-19 Relief as well as local cycling charities & breweries!
Once registered, we will pack up your Ride Appreciation Box and ship it out to you so that you can start rocking your brand new swag out on the open road!

Like to ride bicycles? Like Big Grove Beer? Like the Iowa River Corridor Trail?
Put it all together and you have the Big Rove starting at the Big Grove Brewery in Iowa City. This ride will be along the Iowa River Trail and paved shoulders with stops in the communities along the way. Along with a great bike ride, you will enjoy food, music, and the fellowship of riders across the US.
