Join us for the 9th annual Bike Challenge. This year’s route will feature scenic backroads of central Illinois starting in Peoria, Illinois, and ending in Lake Geneva, WI!
This all started in 2016 when a local businessman and his daughter decided to take a bike ride from Peoria to Green Bay, WI. The aim was to grow closer to each other as father and daughter. Not only did that happen in a big way but they also challenged themselves to raise money for a not-for-profit organization that was near and dear to their hearts.
This year they have chosen to ride from Peoria, Illinois to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. This memorable two-day ride is great for a first-time family ride or for the serious rider looking for a fully supported ride. Proceeds benefit Peoria Christian School and support our mission to support the Christian home and church by preparing students to lead Christ-like lives through a biblical approach to education. The funds raised will go towards our Scholarship Fund.
Dates: 2 days & 1 night, July 12-13 (Friday-Saturday)
Start Location: Peoria Christian School (3506 N California Ave, Peoria IL)
End Location: Lake Geneva, Wisconsin (vehicle transportation back to Peoria is included)
Cost: $300 per rider is required to register. All proceeds benefit Peoria Christian School and riders are encouraged to set an additional fundraising goal to help support the School’s scholarship fund.

Ride And Fundraise For Peoria Christian School:
All participants pay $300 to register. Participants are then encouraged to set a goal and fundraise on top of the registration fee to better support the costs of the ride and help support the scholarship fund at Peoria Christian School, allowing more students and families the opportunity for Christian education!
The fundraising program is optional but will be strongly encouraged. Riders can also make a donation in lieu of fundraising here. More information and instructions will be provided once registration is received. Contact brettb@beachlers.com with any questions.
