At the Event

Tour de Brew KC site is Heim Park, the site of the first Electric Park, and Knuckleheads! When you get to the park, put your bike in the bike parking area, then reg­is­ter, pick up your packet, have some coffee and hang out with your friends!

The start­ing point will be at Rochester & Chestnut, at the SE corner of the park.

A lot of paint is on the roads to mark the route. Sorry, but the city won’t allow us to post signs. The his­toric brewery sites are marked with numbers that cor­re­spond with your map, cue sheet and tour guide. History docents will be happy to fill you in on stories of family dynas­ties, the con­nec­tion of beer with base­ball, gang­sters and other legends of brewing history. The docents will be at Local Pig at Montgall & Guinotte-one block from Knuckleheads, River Market Cyclery at 3rd & Oak, 9th & State Line and the Lemp Castle at 20th & McGee.

Roving SAGs will be avail­able to help you if you have problems.

Enjoy your ride, the fas­ci­nat­ing KC brewing history and check out the 7 unique rest stops that will have water and snacks waiting for you!

After the ride, Boulevard, Tallgrass and Red Bull will provide bev­er­ages! Soft drinks will also be avail­able for pur­chase at Knuckleheads. Lunch will be served from 11:30 so take your time! Use your lunch ticket at any of 4 pur­vey­ors of deli­cious food and don’t forget the SPIN! gelato. Massage Amani will be avail­able to sooth your tired muscles. At 12:30, BikeWeek announce­ments start. Extra meal and beer tickets, t-shirts, tankards and BikeWalkKC mem­ber­ships will be avail­able for pur­chase. Then icing on the cake, at 1:00 live music begins and its time to party!

Remember to thank your vol­un­teers, tip your bar­tenders and Tell Frank and Mary “thank you” for hosting us at this event — this great ride could not happen without them!

The Big Rip Brewing Company is cel­e­brat­ing their grand opening on Sunday. They will be open at dawn to welcome the Tour de Brew riders as the first rest stop. There you can enjoy deli­cious snacks, snap a photo in the outdoor photo booth AND sample of one of their beers. They are open until the beer runs out or 7pm. Stop by after the ride and enjoy a flight or two. Visit BigRipBrewing.com for more details.
