Join Ride Illinois from June 7-12, 2026 for the 23rd annual Grand Illinois Bike Tour (GIBT) – the nonprofit organization’s largest annual fundraiser and one heck of a good time! 

2026 GIBT will begin and end in Litchfield with overnights in pre-reserved hotels along the way.  We’ll roll out from Litchfield, make our way to O’Fallon (June 7), spend two nights in Edwardsville (June 8-9), then two nights in Alton (June 10-11) before riding back to Litchfield.

Can’t join us for all six days? Three-day options will be available on a limited basis. Ride Illinois will also be offering a Day Ride option for the first time ever for those who to experience a bit of GIBT.  Stay tuned, registration for those options will be coming soon!

Proceeds from 2026 GIBT support Ride Illinois – a grassroots, nonprofit organization with a mission to make Illinois better through biking.
