Billings TrailNet is excited to announce the inaugural year of its women’s bicycling event, the Tour de Fleur! This is an inclusive event to celebrate women, flowers and the joy of bicycling.

Women of all ages and ability levels will ride their bicycles, adorned with flowers, on an easy West End loop, where loved ones sprinkling flower petals, will be awaiting their return.

All women, children and people who identify as women, are invited to join the ride on May Day, Sunday, May 1, 2016. The pre-ride activity begins at 1:00 p.m., where flowers will be on hand for bicycle decorating. The ride, led by Billings’ First Lady Robin Hanel, begins at 2:00 pm and ends at Kennedy’s Restaurant, which is providing non-alcoholic beverages, mimosas and desserts to participants.

Proceeds from the Tour de Fleur benefit the advancement of our trails and bikeways. This event is designed to empower mothers, sisters, daughters and friends, to enjoy riding bicycles on the streets of Billings, and provides a much-needed network for women to meet, ride and pedal side by side to the finish line where they will be showered with flowers.
