19th Ann. Tour da Delta Bike Ride



Ride the Delta and hear the Blues!

This year Tour da Delta will be a group gravel ride down the levee and gravel road of the beautiful Saint Francis National Forest out to Storm Creek Lake where there will be restrooms and a rest stop. We will also ride down the gravel road of the Forest out to where the Saint Francis River empties into the Mississippi River where there will be another rest stop. The ride will be approximately 25 miles. We will also ride over to Freeman Playground, the River Park and also swing past the American Legion Hut and show everyone the Merci Train Car that was a gift from France back in 1949 for defending them in WW1 and WW2. Lodging accommodations for cyclist are available at St. John’s Episcopal Church. Showers are available a block away for an additional fee.

  • Registration the day of the ride is $15.
  • A Day Pass into the Festival will also be offered for an additional $25.
  • We also have 14 E-bikes available to rent for the ride for an additional $30 and helmets will also be provided with the E-Bike Rental. 
  • The 25 mile group gravel route starts at 9:30 a.m. from the Thrive Warehouse at 415 Ohio Street in the downtown area of Helena and over by the Levee
