Pelotons, Pizza & Prizes: Tour de France Watch Party + Ride!
Summer is in full spin, and we’re shifting into high gear with a ride-and-watch party you won’t want to miss. On Saturday, July 19, we’re bringing the cycling community together for a morning on the bike followed by a mid-summer bash at Whitetail Bicycles as we watch Stage 14 of the Tour de France. Whether you’re in race mode or just along for the ride (and the post-ride pizza), this is the perfect way to celebrate the world’s biggest bike race—together.
We’ll roll out from Milton City Hall, 2006 Heritage Walk, with two route options to suit your pace and mileage goals. The long route covers 62 miles with two pace groups to choose from—19/20 mph or 21/22 mph—and heads out at 8:00 a.m. The shorter route offers a no-drop steady 39 miles at a 17 mph pace with SAG support, rolling at 8:30 a.m. No matter which route you choose, you’ll be back just in time to refuel and kick back as we stream the Tour, cheer on the pros, and enjoy cold drinks, good company, and some serious snacks.
Speaking of serious—our raffle game is strong. If you’re already registered for the AFO 100, you're automatically entered into our exclusive Watch Party prize raffle. Haven’t signed up yet? No problem—just register by July 19 to get in on the action. We’ve got fantastic prizes you’ll actually want to take home. So, get yourself signed up, show up, and roll away with more than just a great ride and a few slices of pizza.
Do the Double
Feeling strong? Hungry for more? This fall, take your cycling weekend to the next level with the “Do the Double” Challenge—a back-to-back test of grit, endurance, and community spirit. It all starts on Saturday, October 4, when you’ll ride the AFO 100 to support the Van Purser Foundation, which helps cyclists and their families in times of unexpected need. Scenic routes, great rest stops, and an unbeatable finish-line celebration.
Then, if you're up for the challenge, come back the next morning—Sunday, October 5—and saddle up again for Spin for Kids, a fun and meaningful ride that supports Camp Twin Lakes, giving kids with serious illnesses life-changing camp experiences. With multiple route options, beautiful scenery, and a powerful purpose, it’s the perfect way to cap off your weekend on the bike.
It’s two days, two great causes, and one incredible accomplishment.
