The Springfield DDA welcomes you to Downtown Springfield to begin a scenic bike ride through Effingham County. Starting at 8:30 am this year, the Ride will begin and end in Springfield, at Ulmer Ball Park on Jefferson Street and Pine Street. We've worked hard over the years to help improve downtown Springfield and proceeds from this annual ride have helped to fund facade grants and beautification projects that have made a huge difference. SWAG bags for all participants will include information from our sponsors, and additional info about stores, restaurants, and events coming up in downtown. We will be raffling off awesome door prizes for our riders as well. We hope that this will give you a sample of downtown and that you will come back for a visit!

This year we are partnering with Effingham Heros to bring a fun filled day of activities to Ulmer Park. After your ride is complete you can stay in the park to enjoy the event activities and food trucks. Bringing anyone with you? They can watch the Effingham Hero's Parade from Laurel Street at 10am. This will be a full day of activities and thankfulness to our local Hero's and first responders.

If you’re coming back to our ride again this year- THANK YOU for your continued support! If there is anything we can do to make this ride better, please let us know! All input and suggestions are welcome!
