MANCHESTER, NH – Mark your calendars for one of Manchester’s most exciting community events! Queen City Bicycle Collective invites riders of all ages and experience levels to join the Tour of Manchester 2025.
Our annual community-powered bike ride through the scenic neighborhoods, parks, and trails of Manchester is back for another year. This year’s ride will take place on Sunday, September 14, 2025, from 8 a.m. to noon.
Whether you’re in for a short cruise or a longer challenge, the Tour of Manchester offers multiple route options, perfectly tailored for families, casual riders, and seasoned cyclists alike. This year’s tour continues our mission of celebrating Manchester and expanding access to cycling for all.
Event Highlights:
Choose Your Route: Riders can select from four thoughtfully designed routes:
- A family-friendly 8-mile loop
- A scenic 15-mile ride
- An adventurous 25-mile route
- The signature 30-mile tour, a full loop of Manchester’s most iconic and beautiful areas.
Everyone is welcome on the Tour of Manchester! Registration is pay-what-you-can, ensuring that cost won’t be a barrier to participation. The suggested registration fee is $55 for adults (ages 14+) and $20 for youth (ages 6–13), while children under 6 ride free. Those who are able to give more help offset the cost for those who need to give less; making this an inclusive event for the whole community.
Along the way, riders will enjoy rest stops featuring scenic overlooks and local landmarks, perfect for catching your breath and soaking in the beauty of Manchester. Route signage, markers, and rider supporters will ensure a smooth, safe ride for all participants from start to finish.
The ride begins and ends at Eversource Energy Park (780 N. Commercial Street). At the finish, all participants will be treated to lunch, and all riders signed up before September 1st will receive a commemorative Tour of Manchester 2025 T-shirt at day of registration.
Best of all, your participation directly supports QC Bike’s mission and programs that offer affordable bike repairs, an Earn-a-Bike project at two local elementary schools, and community advocacy that help to make Manchester a more bike-friendly city for everyone.
