The Ride

“I loved street riding in a way that felt safe. It was so fun to experience our gorgeous city from that vantage.”

“Riding a type of ride I never do. It was very eye-opening to see all the cycling infrastructure in the city. I had no clue.”

Meet us at Rohrbach Brewing Company’s Beer Hall on Railroad Street, where this year’s ROC ‘n Roll will begin and end. The ride is rain or shine and the after party will be inside.

The 8-mile ride is a family-friendly, casual route that features the traffic-free Riverway Trail. Check-in starts at 10:00 AM. Kickstands up at 10:30 AM.

The 30-mile ride is a mix of bike paths, bike lanes, and bike boulevards — and will probably take you places you’ve never seen in Rochester on a bike! Check-in starts at 8:30 AM. Kickstands up at 9:00 AM.
