2026 Bike The 'Burg
Challenge
JOIN THE BIKE THE 'BURG CHALLENGE
The Bike the 'Burg Challenge is a great way to get moving, get outdoors and explore the local area! Participants will be challenged to log 150 miles from April-September, 2026. (We’re on the honor system!) You can keep track of your miles on your own using any method that works for you. You could use an app like Strava or in an excel file, or whatever is easiest for you! Registrants will be entered into several drawings and eligible to win fabulous prizes from local businesses!
Join the Challenge for free or get your 2026 Bike the 'Burg Tee!
All proceeds will be donated to local non-profit
Cycling Without Age-Fitchburg Chapter.

Thank You To Our 2026 Bike The 'Burg Sponsors for their generous support:
All proceeds from the sales of 2026 Bike the 'Burg tees will go to Cycling Without Age Fitchburg, a local non-profit on a mission to offer people who cannot ride a bike themselves an opportunity to feel the wind in their hair as they ride as a passenger on a trishaw with a certified, trained pilot. Their goal is to raise $40,000 for two trishaws, a trailer, and necessary safety accessories, including lights and helmets.
