Tour de Corn Rest Stops: Where Hospitality is Always A-MAIZE-ING! 🌽🚴‍♂️

At Tour de Corn, we don’t just do rest stops—we do legendary pit stops filled with flavor, fun, and full-throttle hospitality! Our rest stops are more than just a place to catch your breath—they’re a full-fledged cornucopia of kindness, live music, and carbs to keep you rolling strong.

🌽 What Makes Our Rest Stops Kernels of Perfection?

Mouthwatering Fuel: Forget stale granola bars—our rest stops serve up an epic spread of homemade goodies, fresh fruit, salty snacks, and, of course, corn. We try to vary the foods at each stop in order to keep you going and tastebuds interested! From juicy watermelon to energy-packed peanut butter treats, we've got everything you could dream of—and then some!
Unbeatable Hospitality: Our volunteers don’t just hand out snacks; they cheer, high-five, and practically adopt you while you refuel. You’ll leave each stop feeling like you just got a pep talk from your favorite grandma. Our riders become family that we look forward to seeing every year.
Every Rider, Every Need: Whether you need water, Gatorade, mechanical support, a place to stretch, or just an excuse to chat for a minute, we’ve got you covered. At many rest stops we feature live music with local artists -- from pop covers to old classics to country to gospel! We'll send you off with a tune in your heart!
Frequency & SAG: across our four routes, we average a rest stop every 6-10 miles. And you'll have SAG drivers a'plenty, including several of our local bike shops who are ready with a smile and a tire tube if needed!

Tour de Corn was highly recommended by some friends in the area. I had this crazy idea that I wanted to do a century on a fat bike and everyone said this was the place to do it. I have no idea where to begin, everything about the experience was absolutely amazing! The townsfolk go the extra mile, celebrating the event with the riders. The Friday night festivities were a blast and EVERYONE is so friendly. The routes were the best marked routes I have ever seen, I didn’t use a map and there was never any doubt about which way I needed to go. The SAG stops were perfectly spaced, manned by incredibly friendly people and well stocked with everything we needed to make the ride. Please give my THANKS to the farmers that had their sprinkler systems spraying the road - what a huge boost that was, and it felt amazing! During my 100.5 miles I was passed by at least 20 sag vehicles. They were constantly patrolling and supporting riders. I thought maybe they were circling me because I was on a fat bike and they were ready to evacuate me, lol. Law enforcement was present and patrolling the routes as well. Even on the open highway commuters all waved and moved well away from the riders. You have planned and executed an amazing event. It is very clear your community rally’s around and wholeheartedly supports this event. I can’t wait to return, and I will tell everyone that I can this event needs to be on their calendar. Thank you so much for all you did - your entire community is amazing and it meant so much to me to see how they embraced this event! I finished 100.5 miles on the fat bike! Many of my friends are blown away that I did, I’m very proud of the achievement, and your incredible community and amazingly well organized event will always be part of my story.
