Event Description

New this year - all routes are round trip!  The after-ride picnic is from 12-4, so plan your start time accordingly.

This event is limited to 300 riders.   Be sure to register to ensure your spot! This nearly filled up last year and we are expecting a full crowd this year.


The Velvet Ice Cream Ride is a Pelotonia Fundraiser by teamCOPC that takes place on Sunday, 7/16/17.  This is a bicycle tour starting at Hannah Park in Gahanna, with challenging routes aimed at helping riders prepare for the hilly parts of Pelotonia.


Distances listed below are subject to change based on road conditions on the day of the event. The event will occur rain or shine, with safety and common sense determining participation.

Registration starts at 7:00 a.m. Recommended ride start times are below.  There will be no mass start or ride leaders.
- 85 mile riders between 7:30 -8:30.
- 70 mile riders between 8:00 - 9:00

FINAL ROUTE MAPS and LINKS are posted at http://teamcopc.wixsite.com/pelotonia17/velvet (subject to change pending road conditions and unplanned construction).

Upon check-in you will get a wristband that will make you eligible to get snacks at our rest stops and the after-ride picnic.  You will also get a map for your chosen route.  

Family members, friends and other non-riders may register for just the picnic.  Riders do not need to register for the picnic - that is included!

We ask that you select the distance that you will most likely take so we can make sure there are adequate support and snacks.  However, you will have the option to make a change upon check in on the day of the event.
