The 2026 Ocean to Bay Bike Tour is scheduled for Friday, April 24th, through Saturday, April 25th.  This award-winning event welcomes approximately 1,800 cyclists to the Quiet Resorts and raised over $9,000 in charitable donations to local nonprofits in 2025!  Please see the multiple avenues for business participation below and email membership@thequietresorts.com with any questions.


BIKE TOUR BUSINESS SPECIALS OR ACTIVITIES
With so many visitors coming to the area for the ride, the Chamber would like to help promote your business and encourage cyclists to shop, dine, stay, and play local.  If you would like your business to be listed on the event site, please send any special promotions, menus, live entertainment, or fun cyclist-specific activities or sales (Example: show your Bike Tour bib for 10% off!) to Chamber staff via email (membership@thequietresorts.com or events@thequietresorts.com) or by tagging @oceantobaybiketour on socials, before April 20^th.

Along with our social media push, consider welcoming cyclists to the area by changing signage or marquee language as applicable, and promote any weekend specials, warm wishes, or welcomes to cyclists on social media with #oceantobay.


PRIZE WHEEL DONATIONS
The Bike Tour post party prize wheel is back!  Cyclists will have the chance to spin the wheel after their ride to win fun donated items, gift cards, coupons, and more!  In 2026 the prize wheel is benefiting the Bethany Beach Volunteer Company.  Prize wheel items need to be dropped off at the Chamber by the end of day April 22nd.  Please email Emily at membership@thequietresorts.com if you'd like to donate.
