Two Ways to Ride for MESA

Rotary Tour MESA

Multi-day, ~250 miles, club-hosted stops along an established route within District 6600. Our flagship ride.

MESA 50: Single Day Ride

Single day, 25 or 50 miles, Saturday only. New this year —  perfect if you want to support MESA without the full commitment.

For Both rides begin together at Findlay, OH on June 20, 2026. The MESA 50 riders complete their 25 or 50-mile route that day; the Rotary Tour riders continue on for the full multi-day tour.

Option 1: Rotary Tour for MESA

The full five-day supported tour looping through District 6600 — starting and ending in Findlay, with stops in Ada, Lima, St. Marys, New Bremen/New Knoxville, Celina/Grand Lake, Van Wert, Delphos, and Ottawa-Glandorf.
Riders can do a portion of the circuit or the full route.

Option 2: MESA 50 — Single Day Ride

A 25 or 50 mile route starting from the same location as the Tour. Open to Rotarians and the community alike — a great entry point for newer cyclists or those who can’t commit to the full week.

Option 3: Sponsor a rider or the event

Not a cyclist? You can support MESA’s mission by sponsoring a rider directly or contributing as an event sponsor.


Every dollar helps deliver life-saving medical equipment to communities around the world — and this event generates approximately half of MESA’s annual operating budget.

Option 4: Host along the route

Is your club along the tour route? Clubs at overnight stops assist with lodging and meals; clubs along the way can provide lunch, snacks, or a rest stop welcome.
A fantastic opportunity for fellowship and District 6600 hospitality.

How to Prepare to Ride

This information is for those who are riding more than one day and maybe even all week on the Rotary Tour For MESA. The purpose of this information is to help clarify what may be inaccurate presumptions about the tour and to help new riders especially feel more comfortable with how this ride differs from about any tour you’ve ever ridden.

MESA Bike Tour Support Vehicles

The ride will be supported with both a service truck for securing and hauling bikes, luggage and supplies and a small tour bus for assisting riders who may need a break from the elements and tired muscles.
