Our team looks forward to offering both in-person and do-it-yourself ride options for the 2024 Fall Square 2 Square Bike Ride. The Square 2 Square Bike Ride is a festive, family friendly experience that allows participants to take in the scenery and camaraderie of the Razorback Greenway!
As an alternative to in-person, a do-it-yourself ride option will be offered over the period of a month. With the goals of providing an event for new people on bikes, promoting safe riding, showcasing the Razorback Greenway, and supporting our neighbors, S2S has choices for you!
