This event is a flower filled ride encouraging physical activity and camaraderie amongst women of all ages and abilities.  Some women have a curiosity for riding but are more likely to take up the sport with a friend who can help make riding more feasible and enjoyable. While many others have found cycling to be their favorite outdoor activity.  The Tour de Fleur encourages women and children to embrace spring and the fun of bicycling with friends.  This is the fourth year that Billings TrailNet has put on this event, which will be held on Sunday, May 5th 2019.

We are offering our signature ride of 1.5 mile and 5 mile.  We added a 15 mile bike ride for the ladies that would like to ride longer.  Living a healthier active lifestyle.

Hold onto your handlebars! Watson Children’s Shelter along with our premier sponsor, Montana Rail Link, invite you to join us on May 11th for the 19th annual Bike for Shelter at Community Medical Center. This FREE family-friendly event includes a 10-mile neighborhood bike ride and a 2-mile fun loop for the little guys. After your ride enjoy a BBQ lunch, snow cones, music, face painting and carnival games. Other activities this year include a rock wall, laser tag, bounce houses, bungee trampolines, and a petting zoo! Sign-up online now and help support Watson Children’s Shelter’s vision – for all children to live healthy, happy and productive lives.
