About CF Cycle for Life

Join us for our annual Cycle for Life ride on Saturday, October 15^th at the Rhinegeist Brewery Distribution Facility in Cincinnati, OH! This year we are very excited to share that we are riding with a professional bike tour company - Bikes & Beers - to completely redesign the Cycle for Life experience in Cincinnati, complete with a brewery afterparty.

Our 2022 CF Cycle for Life event will feature in-person and virtual experiences to help make a difference for all people living with cystic fibrosis. We can’t wait to bring the CF community together for CF Cycle for Life!

Rhinegeist Brewery Distribution Facility – 3241 Spring Grove Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45202

This year’s ride features a 15, 30, and 45-Mile ride departing from the Rhinegeist Brewery Distribution Facility and traveling through the beautiful city of Cincinnati, Ohio. All rides will feature morning fuel stations, fully marked routes, GPS turn-by-turn instruction, rest stops with refreshments, ride marshals, and SAG support. Finish up back at Rhinegeist for a festival atmosphere of rewarding craft beers, live music, & much more!

This is a ride for everyone - all riding levels welcome! The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is a featured charity for this year’s event.
