Get ready for a special year—2025 marks the 10th anniversary of the Bottleneck Bridge Ride! This beloved ride has been bringing cyclists together for a decade, and we’re making this milestone one to remember. With scenic routes, great company, and an unforgettable post-ride celebration, there’s never been a better time to join the fun. Don’t miss out on this exciting anniversary edition of the ride!

The Bottleneck Bridge Ride is presented by the Festus Tourism Commission and co-hosted in partnership with Trailnet and the Jefferson County Growth Association. Affectionately known as "One Hill of a Ride," this event offers routes for every skill level, taking cyclists on a scenic journey through Jefferson County with rest stops at wineries, restaurants, and historic sites like Sandy Creek Covered Bridge.

For our younger riders, we are excited to announce the return of the kids' races, thanks to Living Life on 2 Wheels. This event is always a hit and adds extra fun to the day. Registration is free, and every child who participates will receive a prize.

Registration includes: 

• Exclusive Bottleneck Bridge 2025 Anniversary Edition T-shirt
• Well-stocked rest stations 
• Complimentary post-ride beer from our sponsor, Perennial Artisan Ales
