Bikes & Beers Willibrew

June 04, 2017 12:00PM - 4:00PM at Willimantic Brewing Company

The one that started them all! Join us for the original Bikes & Beers ride: Willibrew in Willimantic! 20mi of the flattest, nearly car free riding you could hope for! We ride out of the Pedal Power Vernon parking lot & head down the Hop River Trail for a leisurely roll along this packed dirt bike path. There is a new section of the Hop River Trail, added just last year. So new, it's not even on Google Maps yet! Don't worry, we've drawn it onto our map the best we could. Enjoy some awesome beers & fantastic food in Willimantic's old Post-Office building!

Some handy notes regarding our Willibrew ride: this is the longest (and flattest) of all the Bikes & Beers rides. The 20 mile distance is one way. If you elect to ride the entire route, you'll be logging about 40mi for the day. Pedal Power will have representatives leading the group to Willibrew. You are responsible for getting yourself back home. Don't get lost! Download the gps file or print the cue sheet here:

The Hop River Trail has a new section that was added last year. To access it, you will need to cross over both lanes of traffic on Route 66, just after the bridge that goes over the Willimantic River, and just before Mackey's. Confused? Make sure you read our map. Use caution & your best judgement when crossing the road!!
