Rides and Events

Check this page often for updated listings of all types of cycling events in and around our area. Rides require, at minimum, an appropriate bike in good working order, water, and a helmet. We suggest a spare tube, energy food, maybe a little cash in case we stop, and your biggest smile! Many rides are held subject to weather. It's a good idea to confirm dates, time and any specific requirements, too. We'll see you out there — and have fun!

Friday Night Fever!

North Hill Park, Burlington, IA

The Friday Night Fever Criterium was a brand new event in 2022 that replaced the previous Burlington Road Race. Friday Night Fever Criterium is a 11 block, .88 mile loop course that starts on N 4th Street and High Streets. Riders will head north to North Street, west to N 5th Street, south to High Street, and then east to N 4th completing the loop. With a total ascent of 49 feet, this fast and fairly flat twilight criterium brings an exciting addition to Snake Alley in 2024.

Snake Alley Criterium

Downtown Burlington, IA

Due to road construction, the Snake Alley Criterium will look a little different in 2022. It will be held on a twenty-two block course, 1.509 miles per lap with differences in elevation from 591 feet to 686 feet. The course is entirely on city streets, in a downtown commercial area and a historic residential district. A one block long climb is on the historic brick street named Snake Alley, dubbed "the crookedest street in the world." The 276 foot long Snake Alley has 5 switchbacks in a sixty foot climb. The average grade is 12.5 percent in that one block. Bring a suitable gear cluster for that kind of climbing. This is one of the most physically challenging races in the Midwest. Come Race the Snake!!
