The Circus is Coming to Town

Later on, the freak bikes come out as the Last Regiment drummers and bike clubs parade down Mississippi. This is your chance to see some of the wackiest bikes imaginable: like looming high tall bikes, choppers and swing bikes. There is still room in the parade, so if you and your biking friends want to march as a team, club, or just as a group of people who love riding bikes together, see the website for details and sign up before midnight on the 12th.

In the evening, the street shuts down to all but the fastest racers as they zoom by in both directions on Mississippi for a super fast criterium street race. The course features tight turns and plenty of solid racing action with some of the area's most skillful racers competing for cash and prizes.

There will also be performances all day by the Sprockettes bicycle dance troupe, the SEI Soul Choir and the SEI Drum Corps. Exhibitors, food vendors and a beer garden will line the streets. Bring the whole family, bring your friends, head to the beer garden and get ready for a full evening of bicycle fun in the sun on Mississippi Avenue!
