15-Mile Route – A fun, approachable ride for cyclists of varying experience levels.

30-Mile Route – Take on the longer route with a designated rest stop featuring food and water.

Both routes offer a great way to ride alongside friends, neighbors, and fellow supporters while experiencing our local community.

🌴 Why Ride for BERT?

Proceeds from the event benefit the Bonita Estero Rail Trail and help support continued awareness, advocacy, and community engagement surrounding the trail.

BERT follows a 14.9-mile former rail corridor through Bonita Springs and Estero, connecting toward the John Yarborough Linear Park Trail to the north and the Paradise Coast Trail to the south. The vision is to create greater regional connectivity while providing more opportunities for walking, running, cycling, recreation, and active transportation.

🎉 More Than a Ride

Stick around after your ride and enjoy the community atmosphere at Coconut Point. Connect with local organizations and vendors, grab some food, and celebrate another year of Ride for BERT with fellow participants.
