The What
REGISTER BEFORE TOUR DAY – SAVE $$ and TIME!
One of the most popular & well-organized bike tours in Ohio, the Ox Roast Bicycle Tour, is back again for 2023! FMCPT is again happy to sponsor the ride in cooperation with the West Jefferson Community Association, on Labor Day, Monday, September 4, 2023.
Online registration is closed for 2023
Fee includes detailed tour maps, identification number (which must be displayed at all times), support services, food stops, and an FMCPT membership through 2023! Food items provided at rest stops include granola bars, fresh fruit, water, and sports drinks such as Powerade or Gatorade. Plus, each rider gets a coupon for a FREE Ox Roast sandwich! (An $8 value & SOOOOO yummy)
We plan much of our Tour support & rest stop supplies based upon the number of early registrations received, so please help us out by signing up early. We are sorry, but refunds cannot be made if you are unable to ride after you have registered.
PLEASE NOTE: None of the 3 routes pass through towns with facilities and food or drink (for purchase), so plan your time at our rest stops accordingly.
All registrations received after 8:00 PM, Monday, August 28, including on the day of the Tour: $50.00.
WOW… SAVE A COOL 5 BUCKS EACH! 👕
After you register, you’ll be sent to our “private store” where you can order 2023 Tour tee shirts & save!

The Where
Ox Roast Festival, West Jefferson, OH
The 2023 Ox Roast Bicycle Tour consists of three different routes: 33-mile, 66-mile, and 100-mile options. Registration desks open at 7:00 AM, and all rides will kick off between 7:00 and 9:30 AM near Garrette Park on Frey Avenue/Cemetery Road, West Jefferson, OH. They start by the tour check-in tables at the south end of the festival near the community building in Garrette Park (coordinates 39.94004’ N 83.26794’ W). Free parking for the Ox Roast Festival is right next to our ride registration area. Each route is then marked with their designated route colors. (Maps & GPX files will be available.) All routes end back by the check-in area. We encourage everyone to enjoy the festival and use their voucher for a free Ox Roast sandwich, which is included with the Tour registration!
