Get Ready to Ram-m-b-l-l-l-e!

The Second Annual Cotton Ramble Bicyle Ride will be held Saturday, October 9, 2010. 

This year's event has been expanded to include the Cotton Festival in Legion Square, across the street from the Depot.  Cotton Ramble participants will be able to enjoy the festival's food, crafts, live entertainment, and family fun before and after the bike ride.

New this year, in addition to the13 mile, and 26 mile rides, we have added a 51 mile bike ride.  All of the routes start at the historic train Depot in downtown Sikeston and move through town passing by shaded, tree-lined streets with majestic homes. Leaving town, you travel along fields of cotton, as well as soybeans & corn. The 26 & 51 mile routes take you by two working cotton gins which will offer free tours for the riders.
