Join us for the 11th annual Bike Challenge. This year’s route will feature scenic backroads of central Illinois, starting in Peoria, Illinois, and ending in Lake Geneva, WI!
This all started in 2016 when a local businessman and his daughter decided to take a bike ride from Peoria to Green Bay, WI. The aim was to grow closer to each other as father and daughter. Not only did that happen in a big way but they also challenged themselves to raise money for a not-for-profit organization that was near and dear to their hearts.
This year, they have chosen to ride from Peoria, Illinois, to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. This memorable two-day ride is great for a first-time family ride or for the serious rider looking for a fully supported ride. Proceeds benefit Peoria Christian School and support their mission to support the Christian home and church by preparing students to lead Christ-like lives through a biblical approach to education. The funds raised will go towards the Tuition Gifts Fund.
