Quincy On Saturday, July 12, Friends of the Trails will have its yearly fundraising bicycle ride. Beginning at The Dock, 1021 Bonansinga Drive, the Terry Anastas Tour de Quincy will travel across the city.
Named after the late Terry Anastas, a longtime board member of Friends of the Trails and advocate for trail development, the Tour de Quincy is a fun, family-friendly, fundraising recreational bike ride. With all revenues going to Phase 5 of the Bill Klingner Trail, this year’s event aims to raise $25,000 in 2025.
The event offers bike routes that are appropriate for riders of all ages and abilities, such as:
- 7-mile family ride: Ideal for varied skill levels, this ride is on a dedicated bike path and the Bill Klingner Trail.
- 12-mile Tour de Quincy: A poker run route stopping at five local bars (Instant Replay, Tangerine Bowl, Harrison Pub, The Scoreboard and Quincy Brewing Company.) Participants who stop at all five bars receive a poker hand at the end of the ride. The highest two hands will win prizes, including a first-place prize of $200 in cash and a second-place prize of a cooler from the Rinella Co. Third place will receive a Quincy Brewing Company gift. Bicycles, motorcycles and personal vehicles are permitted.
- 30-mile Tour de Quincy: Another poker run route with the same local bars, but an extended ride.
