WELCOME to the 2024 Bike.Build.Home 500 Bike Ride! This is the 2nd annual BBH500 Bike Ride organized and sponsored by the Bike.Build.Home 500 Planning Committee. We are all volunteers and veterans of the historic Habitat 500 Bike Ride!

This year our 2024 host affiliate is Winona-Fillmore Counties Habitat for Humanity located in Winona MN. We are grateful for their generous support and willingness to host this event. Visit their website to learn more about their affordable housing initiatives.

The mission of the Bike.Build.Home 500 is to raise funds for affordable housing organizations while building community and camaraderie with an annual multi-day bicycle ride. The BBH500 is primarily an in-person, five day ride totaling 500 km ($300 early-bird registration fee through March 31). It is fully supported and includes a Build Day for the Bike.Home and an optional Century Ride on Saturday.

For those who are unable to commit to the 5-day event, you can register for one or more days of the ride ($75/day) or register as a virtual rider ($50). We are also offering a discounted rate of $250 for folks 25 years old or younger.

All riders are encouraged to raise at least $500 for one or more Affordable Housing Organization(s) (AHO) of your choice. This could be Winona HFH, another Habitat for Humanity affiliate or other nonprofit organization in your community that builds affordable housing.

Your registration fee includes overnight accommodations in air conditioned dorm rooms with private showers at Winona State University. Five day riders are encouraged to arrive July 9 in time for orientation early Tuesday evening. The routes for each day will average 60-70 miles. Route maps will be available soon on the BBH500 website. Breakfast and dinner are provided each day. (Watch for a Rider Packet with additional information within a few weeks following registration.)

When you register you have the option to make an additional donation to HFH Winona to help with the expense of hosting the event.

Join us for the 2024 Bike.Build.Home 500 to have a great experience and raise funds for a great cause! Last year, BBH500 riders raised $180,000 for affordable housing. Your participation will make this a great ride this year, whether In-person or virtual. So REGISTER NOW for the best bike ride of the year and raise money for a very worthy cause!
