What to expect

On Saturday, August 23rd, Red Bird Sylvania, Yark Nissan and Toledo Memorial Park will present Ridin’ Late in County 48, a 9-mile family friendly slow bicycle ride under the beautiful night sky of Northwest Ohio. This carefully planned route is designed to highlight parks, neighborhoods and their connections to each other. Brightz-ltd will be providing their revolutionary new bike lights to ALL RIDERS to create a colorful spectacle along the route. We want you to feel thrilled and excited about being part of something bigger than yourself as hundreds of lighted bicycles circle Olander Lake. We want you to feel the excitement in the community on the ride and then connect even further at the after party in downtown Sylvania.

The course to be used for this event is not a closed course and traffic will be maintained 

This 7th annual event will take place at 8:30PM and riders will be provided a fully supported ride route with police escort. Then join us for a casual affair under the stars for snacks, cold drinks and craft beer in the Sautters parking lot

$25 per person, 2025 Ridin’ Late shirt included

Over 600 riders joined us at Ridin’ Late in County 48 in 2024. In past years, Ridin’ Late has donated proceeds to Safe Kids Greater Toledo, where funds were allocated for bike safety equipment. Proceeds have also been dedicated to cycling projects throughout Sylvania, such as a Fixit Station in front of the Sylvania Library and a bike rack for Main Street. This year proceeds will be used for portable bike racks for Ridin’ Late aa well as for any other downtown Sylvania events.

Our goal is to keep the brick and mortar businesses here in downtown Sylvania thriving.  Throughout the year, we offer bonus events, black friday specials, shop small celebrations and ladies nights out on the town.  Our specialty stores are here to entertain you!
