Ride: Barb Martin's Polly's Freeze Ride - Bike to Beat Cancer Training Ride

Ride Distance: 28-miles

Ride Terrain & Pace: 12 - 14 MPH Average

Elevation Gain: 1,235

Surface Type: Road

Starting Location: Yellow Lot at Waterfront Park, 1401 River Rd, Louisville, KY 40206, USA

Route Description:

Polly’s Freeze Ride – Two Traditions in One!

This year we’re combining two great cycling traditions into one ride. Each summer, Barb Martin leads her beloved Polly’s Freeze Ride, while Bike to Beat Cancer hosts a training ride that makes the same climb. In 2025, the Louisville Bicycle Club is proud to add an additional Bike to Beat Cancer training ride and take it up to Polly’s Freeze together.

Route Details:

We’ll roll out from the Yellow Lot at Waterfront Park, then head across the Big Four Bridge into Indiana. From there, we’ll follow the scenic Ohio River Greenway all the way to Corydon Pike, where the real challenge begins with the climb up to Polly’s Freeze.

After enjoying a well-earned stop for cold treats, it’s time to descend. We'll head back down Corydon Pike, dropping into New Albany, reconnecting with the Ohio River Greenway, and crossing back over the Big Four Bridge into Louisville, returning the same way we came.

This ride blends tradition, community, and a sweet reward at the top. Come ready for a climb, a cone, and great company! 🚴‍♀️🍦

This is a charity ride that has a minimum fundraiser of $400. 

Make sure you join our Louisville Bicycle Club Bike to Beat Cancer team HERE so we can show support for this great cause. 

Route Distance: 15, 35, or 65 miles

Starting Location:  Norton Cancer Institute - Brownsboro - 4955 Norton Healthcare Blvd, Louisville, KY 40241

Route Description: 

Choose from 15, 35, 65 or 100 miles! We have an option to fit your activity level. To help you choose, think about it this way: A leisurely bike ride is about 10-15 miles per hour. Could you ride for one hour? Two hours? Three hours? More?

Keep in mind that relief is only 15 miles away. Our pit stops are spaced about 15 miles apart, where you can park, stretch your legs, use the restroom and get something to eat or drink.

Finally, remember you should enjoy yourself — but challenge yourself. You are doing this for those who cannot. You are taking on the challenge in solidarity with those who are fighting the biggest fight of their lives.

Choose your distance

Never cycled before? We recommend the 5-mile or 15-mile option.

Cycled some, but it’s been a while? Try the 15- or 35-mile option. These are great distances for active beginners to novice riders.

Frequent cycler? The 65-mile ride is for you. This longer distance can be rewarding for people who cycle regularly or enjoy fitness.

Registration Fee: 5-mile rider registration is $10. 5-, 15-, 35-, & 65-mile rider registration is $50. Cancer survivors ride for free. Click here for more details on the minimum fundraising requirements.
