Colorburst

Colorburst 2021! Join us for a Colorburst Club Cruise, out and back on the White Pine Trail. Saturday, October 9, leaves Belmont Trailhead at 10am. Arrive early to hang out & catch up with friends. We all leave together as a group but you choose your distance. There are several possible stops for food & hydration. No SAG other than our own friendly group so bring what you need and know you’re among good bike people.

Rockford & back is 8 miles RT.

Cedar Springs Staging lot (behind brewery) is 23 miles RT.

Sand Lake is 33 miles RT.

We’re asking for donations. No particular amount but our plan is to support a local charity with what’s collected. Fall colors should be great!

Enjoy fall colors, various distances, a pancake breakfast, cookies and fruit at rest stops, and hot soup and bread for lunch while it lasts. Proceeds benefit local charities (usually bicycle related) as voted on by Rapid Wheelmen members.

Colorburst was started in 1983 by Craig Campbell, a Rapid Wheelmen member, as a memorial to Donna Ryskamp, who was killed on August 9, 1983, by a drunk driver while bicycling. Craig Campbell was killed when a drunk driver struck his motorcycle on August 29, 1987; Craig was driving the route for Colorburst before printing the map for the ride. Now in its 29th year, Colorburst continues to honor Donna and Craig, and has raised more than $100,000 for Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and other local charities. (More Colorburst History)
