  Get ready to roll into one of the most joyful days of the year in downtown Modesto! The MoChiMu Bike n’ Trike Family Ride & Fun Festival takes off promptly on Saturday, May 30, 2026 at 8:30 AM and invites families, friends, and little riders of all ages to gather at the Modesto Children’s Museum before rolling out together in a colorful parade of bikes, trikes, scooters, wagons, and other rolling rides - many sporting delightful balloon backpacks and playful group costumes. From MoChiMu we cruise a 2.2 mile route through downtown and along the Virginia Corridor before arriving at Roosevelt Park for a festival packed with fun. More than 25 community vendors host hands-on activities for kids alongside fire trucks, bottle rockets, games, dancing, and delicious food. Grab your crew, decorate your ride, and sign up today to celebrate joyful play while supporting the Modesto Children’s Museum’s mission to inspire creativity, critical thinking, and lifelong learning. 🚲☀️

  Well, since last year was such a success, why not do it again? This year we are heading back to the "five and dime" to visit our very favorite friends at Drake's Brewing. That's right, 50 friends, one amazing bus and a free beer when you get there. This is an easy way to support your favorite running club while enjoying a beer or two!
