On your marks, get set — PEDAL! Get ready for Ride on the Wild Side — the one time each year where you get to ride your bike around the Zoo. Whether you’re taking a cruise on the family-friendly 1.5 mile loop through Zoo grounds or challenging yourself with the 13-, 20- or 30-mile distance routes that start and end at the Zoo, this is a unique experience you won’t want to miss out on. All participants receive a long-sleeved event T-shirt, breakfast snacks to fuel their ride, lunch and Kids Zone activities.
