Riding  Together – for Cerebral Palsy Research

#PWP2023

It's back and better than ever- Whether you're an avid road cyclist, a weekend cruiser bike enthusiast, or a dedicated supporter of Cerebral Palsy research - Pedal with Pete Columbus is here for you. The 22nd Annual Pedal with Pete Columbus event will be held again this year at Marysville High School (800 Amrine Mill Road, Marysville 43040) on Saturday July 29th (the weekend before Pelotonia).  We’ll have marked routes, rest/food stops and SAG (support and gear) service. For the kids, Nationwide Children's Hospital's Kid's Fest will be there, along with a balloon artist and juggler. There will be a “fun walk, ride and roll” and bike parade.

Beginning at Marysville High School, seven routes (8, 18, 36, 53, 62, 75 and 102 miles) will reveal a great deal of new territory to Pedal with Pete riders. All routes 36 miles and longer will visit our familiar Milford Center rest stop serving pre-packaged sandwiches, snacks, fruit and drinks. The family and beginner oriented 8-mile route stays entirely on trails through lush parklands adjacent to the high school. The 75- and 102-mile routes will take a scenic route to Mechanicsburg where there will be an added rest/food stop at Goshen Park.  102 milers exploring beyond Mechanicsburg will be rewarded with an extra dose of magnificent rolling to hilly terrain.

GPS courses are available under 2023 EVENT - BIKE ROUTES menu on this site.  Downloadable route maps are available on that page as well.

Riders will begin their rides between 7:00AM and 10:00AM.  Click the following link for a complete Schedule of Events.

Non-riders are welcome to participate in the Walk, Roll & Ride and Kid's Fest starting at 9:30 which will also be held at Marysville High School.  Registration is free, but you must register all family members that plan to attend.
