Ride for the River and Support the Ausable Freshwater Center

For over a decade, Ride for the River has been a do-not-miss celebration of the stunning Ausable River watershed. Featuring two breathtaking routes with distances of 30 or 45-miles, this fundraiser event directly supports the important work of the nonprofit Ausable Freshwater Center to protect the clean waters, healthy streams, biodiverse habitats, and scenic beauty of the Ausable River watershed.

Ride for the River also hosts a 20-mile "tailgater" group ride the day before the race for those who'd like to come into town a day or two early to make it a weekend, with post-ride pizza and drinks overlooking the Ausable River.
