- The Beautiful Southern Ride is a fund-raising event to meet the Gates Foundation and Google Foundation challenge grants to Rotary for the eradication of polio.
- The ride is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Carbondale-Breakfast and the Carbondale Bicycle Club
- Choose from a 15-mile family ride, a mid-length 30-mile ride, or a metric century (62 miles).
- The 15 mile ride is an easy ride with rolling hills.
- The 30 mile ride is moderately hard with one hard climb into Giant City Park.
- The 62 mile ride is a challenging but scenic ride. It is likely one of the prettiest rides in southern Illinois. It follows the Wine Trail to Pomona with a couple of long hills and then east from Rt 127 through Makanda and Giant City Park.
- Entry fee: $15 per person or $40 for 3 or more riders from the same household.
- All rides start and end at the Carbondale Middle School. Restrooms are available at the school.
- Registration is from 7-9 a.m. Sags end at 4 p.m. Plan to start in time to finish by 4 p.m.
- The routes are marked and cue sheets will be provided. The 30 mile and 62 mile rides will have rest stops with snacks, water, and Gatorade. All routes will be sagged.
- Helmets are required to be worn by all riders. Cyclists must obey all traffic rules.
