Join us for the 13th annual Grand Illinois Trail And Parks (GITAP) bicycle tour. Experience Illinois' historic and cultural charms on scenic bike terrain with up to 225 other riders!

This fully supported, six-day ride will be making a loop through Illinois prairies, farmland, woodlands, river edges, and towns and cities — Kewanee, Hampton, Galesburg, Canton, and Chillicothe. Enjoy overnights filled with good food and good fellowship, all in support of the League of Illinois Bicyclists, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving bicycling conditions statewide.
