  • NO Week-of Pre-Registration
  • At this time, there will still be an option to register for the ride on the day of the event at the Hotel Pattee. 
  • ALL Pre-Registration Packets will be MAILED ahead of time & the updated prices include shipping & handling. ​​​
    • Although an added cost to our riders, we are confident that this is the best option to ensure the safety of our riders, volunteers, and community.
    • You will also receive your packet that much sooner (an extra incentive to register early!) which will relieve day-of hassle of pick-up or even last minute no-shows. 
    • Additionally, if we must make further changes closer to the event, we will all be better-positioned to pivot our plan if your registration packets are already in your hands! 

​Stay Safe & Healthy - We hope to see you soon!

History of the Bike Ride to Rippey

The Perry Chamber of Commerce hosts the  Annual BRR - Bike Ride to Rippey - each year on the first Saturday in February as its annual fundraiser. Ever since 1977, this quirky tradition rolls on regardless of the weather!

Known as the “Original WINTER Bike Ride”, BRR riders have experienced frigid temperatures and wind chills while plowing through a foot of snow and have also enjoyed spring like temperatures of 60 degrees! Attendance has grown every year with riders and guests attending from all over Iowa and the country!

BRR is a frozen-filled day of biking, prizes and entertainment that begins and ends in beautiful downtown Perry, IA.  
Day-of Registration, plus other morning activities take place inside the historic Hotel Pattee.
