Route Description:

Polly’s Freeze Ride – Two Traditions in One!

This year we’re combining two great cycling traditions into one ride. Each summer, Barb Martin leads her beloved Polly’s Freeze Ride, while Bike to Beat Cancer hosts a training ride that makes the same climb. 

Route Details:

We’ll roll out from the Yellow Lot at Waterfront Park, then head across the Big Four Bridge into Indiana. From there, we’ll follow the scenic Ohio River Greenway all the way to Corydon Pike, where the real challenge begins with the climb up to Polly’s Freeze.

After enjoying a well-earned stop for cold treats, it’s time to descend. We'll head back down Corydon Pike, dropping into New Albany, reconnecting with the Ohio River Greenway, and crossing back over the Big Four Bridge into Louisville, returning the same way we came.

This ride blends tradition, community, and a sweet reward at the top. Come ready for a climb, a cone, and great company! 🚴‍♀️🍦
