Returning SBC Participants

The 7th annual Simsbury Bike Challenge is open to adult and teen riders who live, work, volunteer or regularly ride in Simsbury. This fun, free activity involves logging bike trips on the Love to Ride platform.  Ride information may be entered manually or by syncing from  fitness apps Strava or Map My Ride. Riders set personal goals, participate in an online community, and compete for prizes and awards.  Most prizes are by random drawing!    Register at Love to Ride and join Group/Club  Simsbury.Bike.

Tips for using Love to Ride

Love to Ride's Challenges

Registered riders participate in our local challenges (SBC, Bike-To-It! Pledge) and LTR's challenges like the National Bike Challenge and Bike Month Challenge, supporting bike advocacy at the national and local levels. 

  

Riders may also join other groups/clubs, ride with a Team for LTR's Bike Month Challenge, or just ride solo.  Join LTR

Year Round Connections

The Love to Ride platform operates year-round, and many local riders also connect virtually through our Strava Club Simsbury.Bike.   

Join Strava Club Simsbury.Bike

Past Success

Since 2015, Simsbury has logged over 600,000 miles in the National Bike Challenge.  We continue to be the #1 club in Connecticut.

National Bike Month celebrates all the reasons people ride — for fun, fitness, transportation, and health; and all the ways bicycling makes communities stronger —  like boosting the local economy and community spirit. 

    

Simsbury's annual Bike Month celebration includes events, rides, classes, safety campaigns, and more.  New in 2022, we are hosting the Bike-To-It! Bike Month Pledge event to encourage people to bike for transportation.  Join us as we Bike to Work, Bike to School, and bike for fun!
