About the Big Rove Ride

Get Ready for BIG ROVE on Saturday, June 21, 2025. A fun bicycle event from the creators of the BACOON RIDE & PIGTAILS! This one-day, 36-mile summertime fun ride cruises scenic trails in eastern Iowa from Cedar Rapids or Iowa City to Solon. The ride features a dual start with your choice of either Big Grove Brewery in Cedar Rapids or Iowa City for a starting point, a midpoint at Big Grove in Solon, and a finish at either Cedar Rapids or Iowa City. With more flexibility, there are sure to be a lot of great ways to go about this ride. This ride is a part of the Iowa City Bicycle Coalition’s official rides for RAGBRAI.
