Tour de Stooges

What? You're looking for beautiful scenery, great cookies, the best after-ride meal, and all the vidiot fun a stooge could want? Well, then don't be a knucklehead or a victim of soicumstance. You better not miss the 29th annual Tour de Stooges on Saturday, May 2, 2026, in Lebanon, Illinois. Miss it, and we'll moiderize youse!

The rolling countryside has great scenery, picturesque farms, fields of wildflowers on lightly traveled country lanes. As usual, this ride features the best rest stop treats around. Yes, our Missouri friends might need to drive a little, but the trip down Interstates 70 or 64 is about the same as traveling from downtown to West County. Plus, the trip is worth it — it'll be a ride to remember! After all that pedaling, there's an all-you-can eat hot meal with lots of variety served in Ames Dining Hall at McKendree University.

We're excited to continue the Moe Metric Century, and have routes for cyclists of all levels, whether you want to push yourself or take it easy. After the ride, we'll spread out, eat, and watch Three Stooges shorts until the cows come home. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!
