ABOUT TOUR DE VILLE - Tour de Ville is an annual, festive event centered on a leisurely bike ride around Historic Downtown Huntsville. The ride begins and ends at S.R. Butler Green, located at Campus No. 805 on Clinton Avenue. Riders will enjoy several noteworthy “rest stops” along the route and learn interesting nuggets about Huntsville and its rich history. Food, drink, and local craft beer will be available after the ride at Straight to Ale and other Campus No. 805 businesses.
As in previous years, we'll have a short and a long route to choose from. Both routes will stop at the same locations simultaneously, enabling riders to switch between routes during the ride! Bring your bikes, helmets, friends, and the entire family, and have fun riding throughout Huntsville, learning about the city while supporting a worthy cause!
Be sure to visit Straight to Ale for great food and drink, and they will contribute $1.00 from sales proceeds to the Boys & Girls Club of North Alabama – Williams unit.

OUR CAUSE - Money raised from the event will provide needed funds to support kids and programs at the Boys and Girls Clubs of North Alabama, Williams Unit. Your registration fee is tax-deductible, and these funds allow us to fulfill our mission: to inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need us the most, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible, and caring citizens. The ride also promotes The Boys & Girls Club’s Healthy Lifestyles programs.
WEATHER - The ride will go on rain or shine. In case of severe weather, the start time will be delayed. If severe weather persists, the ride may be canceled, and your tax-deductible registration will remain a donation to the B&G Club. Therefore, there will be no refunds of donation/registration fees.
RIDER SAFETY: Although the Tour de Ville routing will take full advantage of bike lanes, bikeways, quiet neighborhood streets, and a low-traffic period, there will be exposure to automotive traffic along public roads. Safety Riders from the local cycling community will guide the group along the route and attempt to keep the group organized.
