RIDE
JOIN THE GUMBO RIDE
The Roux kicks off at City Park with a wellness portion that includes invigorating stretches and a filling station stocked with refreshing beverages to kickstart your ride.
A major component of the festival is emphasizing wellness, with educational initiatives and activities designed to promote safe cycling practices and the benefits of a healthy, active lifestyle. At City Park, start your day with energizing stretches and hydrating refreshments before embarking on your ride. Have a flat? Haven’t oiled your chain in years? No worries, we’ve got you. Visit the Bicycle Wellness Station to get you ready for the road. Need a bike? Yes, walk up and we’ll get you riding. We’ve covered everything to ensure you’re ready to enjoy the ride to the fullest.
The Gumbo Bike Ride is an inclusive 2.6-mile journey inviting riders of all ages, social backgrounds, and rider levels to pedal down the scenic Lafitte Greenway from City Park (Art Museum Fountain) to Lemann park @ Lafitte Greenway. This ride celebrates the unity and diversity of our community as we make our way to the festivities of The Big Easy Bicycle Fest!
