Please join the Ten Speed Spokes family to kick off the summer our favorite way with the 28th Edition of the Longest Day of the Year Ride (L'DOTY). This year’s ride will take place on June 18, 2026 at 6:00 pm.

There will be four route options, which include a 10-mile, 25-mile, 35-mile & 45-mile ride. All routes will be marked.

Let’s be honest, the best part is the post ride pizza and cold beverages, so be sure to stick around after the ride to enjoy some food and the company of friends. Plus our new raffle, the sooner you register the more chances you will have to win a raffle prize.

Ride rolls at 6pm but plan to arrive between 5 and 5:30 pm to ensure plenty of time for registration.

The first 200 riders to register will be guaranteed one of the highly coveted TSS LDR commemorative t shirts.

Safety first, so helmets are required.

There is some parking available at the shop but plan to park at the Visitor Information Center across the street or Wal-Mart on Connell Highway.
