Grand Illinois Bike Tour
June 9 @ 8:00 am - June 14 @ 5:00 pm
Join us June 9-14, 2024 for the 21st annual Grand Illinois Bike Tour (GIBT)! This year’s Central Illinois route resembles a figure eight beginning and ending in Maroa, with overnights in Springfield, Forsyth, and Champaign. Registration is open.
Our 2024 loop through Central Illinois will first make its way to Springfield, the state capitol and home of many Abraham Lincoln historical sites. Day two’s layover day provides an opportunity to tour those sites and the extensive Springfield area paved trail system. We then continue our figure eight formation for a night in Forsyth. From there it is off to the home of the University of Illinois Fighting Illini, with two nights in Champaign and layover day routes in the area. This year’s ride concludes on rural roads to Maroa. Join us and invite your friends.
