Celebrating Our Cycling Community
For the Entire Month of October

Ride Mount Dora – CycleTober

Since the 46th Mount Dora Bicycle Festival was canceled, the Mount Dora Area Chamber of Commerce, the City of Mount, and the businesses still wanted a way to celebrate cycling and all it means to our community. On September 10, the City of Mount Dora proclaimed the month of October would be forever known as “Ride Mount Dora – CycleTober.”

Benefits of your Participation

For the past 45 years, proceeds from the Mount Dora Bicycle Festival have helped many charities, as well as help put on two free community holiday events, Light Up Mount and the Annual Christmas Walk. These holiday events are not only a kick-off to all things Christmas in Mount Dora, but they are a way to bring in diners and shoppers into our downtown district.

Due to the recent Covid-19 pandemic, like many small towns across America, our downtown businesses have seen a decline in business. By creating the Ride Mount Dora-CycleTober experience, we hope to be able to help bring visitors into our businesses and give them a little boost to kick off the Fall season.

So we invite you to celebrate your love for cycling and our great town for the entire month of October, yep, for 31 days.
