Beautiful routes through rural central Illinois countryside with lake views, timber and preserves, small towns and wide open spaces... well-supplied SAG, homemade treats at the food stops, lunch in air conditioning ... you'll find all of this at the Food Bank Flyer bicycle ride, a fundraiser for Midwest Food Bank.
Starting and ending at the Midwest Food Bank in Normal IL the annual Food Bank Flyer has 20, 40 and 60 mile routes to choose from or you can mix and match for 80 or even 100 miles (please start before 7 am and let us know at check-in if you plan for 100 miles). All routes have well supplied rest stops, and SAG support by phone if needed. You can start your ride anytime between 6:30 am and 9:30 am, but be sure to plan on finishing in time for lunch provided by the Midwest Food Bank. 
Lunch (including Woody & Bubba's delicious pulled pork!) will be served from 11am - 1pm. Although registration will be open up to the day of the event please help us plan how much food we will need by registering early.
NEW IN 2025: Dessert is included!

REST STOPS WILL CLOSE AT 11:00 AM. If you will be riding after 11:00am, please fill your water bottles and pocket some snacks from a rest stop before then, and head back to the Midwest Food Bank for the lunch!
SAG support by phone will be available until 1:00pm. Route Maps, Route Maps, Get Your Route Maps HERE!
There will be a limited supply of paper maps but we strongly encourage you to download the maps to you phone or cycling computer using the button below. The routes will be marked on the roads (a painted circle with a hash mark to point the way), but heat and traffic can sometimes make the marks difficult to see. These are the updated planned routes for 2025. Please check back just before the ride and watch your email if you are registered, in case we need to reroute due to road work or road hazards. |
