What is the Tour de Donut?

The Tour de Donut is a fully supported BP MS 150 recommended ride that challenges riders to a doughnut eating contest.  This unique bicycle race takes riders on an appetizing 28-mile journey with rest stops along the way serving as many delectable doughnuts as you can eat.  For EACH tasty doughnut that a rider consumes, the rider is awarded a tempting 5-minute time credit.  Eat enough delicious doughnuts, and you can finish the race before you even started!  In addition to this mouth-watering challenge, riders can also ride the 55-mile course to get in shape for the BP MS 150.  All riders will receive a rider number, official T-shirt and plenty of food and drink at the rest stops.
