Major Taylor Signature Ride
19th Annual Major Taylor Cycling Club of Dayton Signature Bike Ride
Hosted by the Major Taylor Cycling Club of Dayton
Join us on Saturday, July 11, 2026, for a premier cycling experience through the scenic landscape of the Greater Dayton area. Whether you are looking for a challenging distance or a casual family outing, we have a route designed for you.
Tour de Donut
The Tour de Donut is a unique bicycle event, where your ability to eat donuts is just as important as your ability to ride your bicycle fast. The event is a mass start timed bicycle "ride" where riders visit donut stops. For each donut the rider eats during the ride (and keeps down) they have 5 minutes deducted from their ride time. The ride is just like any other bike tour, except we have donuts. 1000 dozen. Donut stops are also stocked with bananas, local in season apples, other local fruit, yogurt, water, electrolyte drink and milk.
