Everybody Rides: All Riders. All Abilities. One Powerful Mission.

Everybody Rides is exactly what it sounds like—an event where everyone belongs on a bike. From first-timers to seasoned cyclists, we’ve got routes designed for all ages and abilities.

Bring the whole crew for our 1.6-mile route or enjoy a scenic 10-mile trail ride, perfect for families and riders new to cycling. Looking to push the pace? Choose from 29, 46, or 62-mile road routes built for experienced riders. And here’s the fun part our routes are flexible. Want more miles? Just add a loop (or two) and ride as far as you want.

Everybody Rides is more than a ride it’s a fundraiser for Project Mobility, a local nonprofit creating freedom through adaptive cycling for children, adults, and wounded soldiers with disabilities.

Something as simple as riding a bike can feel impossible for someone with mobility challenges. Adaptive bikes are life-changing but they’re also expensive. With your support, Project Mobility provides strength, confidence, independence, and the pure joy of movement to people who are too often told their lives are limited. Cycling changes that story.

Join us on Sunday, May 31st and experience the impact firsthand. After the ride, keep the celebration going at our Party in the Park, featuring an Adaptive Bike Giveaway, unlimited food, a beer garden, live music, raffles, and more.

Ride for fun. Ride for freedom.

Everybody Rides.

56th Annual Swedish Days Ride

Registration is OPEN!

This is a cashless event. Please be prepared to pay with a credit card for day of registration.

New redesigned jersey is available now. Order here: https://via.primalcustom.com/collections/ts-15037

We look forward to growing our tradition to 1000 riders this year

As a reminder all net profits go to support local biking organizations and charities.

The Swedish Days Ride is the premier cycling event in Northern Illinois and the signature event of the Fox Valley Bicycle & Ski Club (FVBSC). Now in its 56th year, the Swedish Days Ride travels the quiet, scenic and relatively flat paved roads of rural Kane, Kendall and DeKalb counties, meandering through cornfields and through shaded thoroughfares.

The Swedish Days Ride offers six routes ranging from our Family Ride (12 miles) to the iconic Double Metric Century (133 miles), providing a “just right” distance for cycling families to competitive athletes. This year you can also create your own ride by combining colored loops.

The ride is fully supported with one centralized rest stop boasting AC/indoor facilities stocked with nutritional items, onsite morning emergency mechanical support and bicycle supplies, and roaming SAG patrol vehicles. With over 75 helpful volunteers, the Swedish Days Ride provides a superior riding experience to our goal of 1000 guests this year.

FVBSC donates all of the proceeds from this event to support organizations promoting safe cycling, education, advocacy, infrastructure development and cycling for people with disabilities, such as the Ride Illinois, Rails to Trails, Project Mobility, Easter Seals (bikes for kids) and Open Door. Our event has no affiliation with the Geneva Chamber of Commerce’s Swedish Days Festival.

Ride is rain or shine. Sales are final with no refunds.
