Warm weather brings the promise of outdoor activities—especially if they're cycle-related. The city's passionate, robust and supportive two-wheel community has a packed events calendar catering to riders of all skill levels. Here are just a few races and gatherings, all of which are guaranteed to get your heart pumping. For a more comprehensive list, Bike Cleveland has a detailed, day-by-day calendar with events. Get pedaling!

Night Rides on the Towpath Trail

Various Saturdays, June 11-October 15 (check listings above)
For nearly a quarter century, the Towpath Trail has offered bikers the chance to take night rides. This year is no different: On summer and early fall Saturdays, riders can gather at 8 p.m. at Century Cycles' Peninsula store (Rt. 303 between Rt. 8 and I-271, next to the Winking Lizard Tavern) and embark on a 14-mile ride either north or south.

Pan Ohio Hope Ride

July 21-24
As the name implies, this popular event, during which riders raise money for the American Cancer Society, is a multi-day ride from Cincinnati to Cleveland. Participants can do the entire route, or simply do a leg or two; the route is divided into four manageable day trips. For those who want a more leisurely ride, there's an option to Create Your Own 328 and cover the mileage across more days using indoor or outdoor bikes. You'll have access to various support options during the ride, including accommodations on college campuses.

Bike MS: Buckeye Breakaway 2022

August 6-7
This race kicks off at Coe Lake in Berea and ends at Sawmill Creek Resort, and offers routes of 35, 50, 75 or 100 miles, spread across either one or two days. (The 35-mile race begins and ends at Sawmill Creek.) The latter category of riders stays overnight at Sawmill Creek and enjoy food, music, beaches and pool. Better still? The ride is a fundraiser for the National MS Society.

Tri CLE Rock Roll Run

August 20
For the adventurous, the Tri CLE Rock Roll Run is a triathlon of varying lengths, covering all skill levels. A preview of the run course is available on June 9 at 6:30 pm. 

Bike Cleveland Fundo

August 27
The 2022 Bike Cleveland Fundo offers paths of 10, 31 and 62 miles around Cleveland neighborhoods. The race starts and ends at the Edgewater Park-located Cleveland Metroparks Beach House, and features support stops along the way for food and bike repairs, as well as a post-ride nosh.

VeloSano

September 9-10 
VeloSano (which means "swift cure" in Latin) has a simple premise: People sponsor cyclists, who in turn pledge to raise a certain amount of money corresponding to a bike ride of a certain distance. All of this money goes to cancer research at the Cleveland Clinic. The numbers are impressive: VeloSano has raised $30 million since 2014. The 2022 Bike to Cure takes place downtown in September.
