Newport feels a lot different at night, especially in the silver glow of a full moon. A line of bike lights pierces the evening twilight. The drumbeat of waves lapping on the rocky shore. Mansions emerge before us, their majestic architecture lit up beyond their walls and hedges.
Our monthly Full Moon Rides – Sponsored by AARP Rhode Island have returned for the 2025 season. These scenic evening group rides wind along the Newport shoreline, delighting first-timers and returning riders alike. A Full Moon Ride is social and easygoing; the pace is patient, nobody gets left behind, and participants are welcome to finish their journey with food and libations.
The Full Moon Ride coastal route will bring us past scenic harbor, bay, and ocean views – lit first by the setting sun, and then by the rising moon. We’ll ride 15 miles on Newport’s scenic roads and coastline, around the beautiful Ocean Loop, and along the mansions of Bellevue Avenue. These rides have limited capacity, so be sure to register as each date’s tickets become available.
Suggested Donation: $10 per Rider. Donations are not a requirement. Donations of all sizes are welcome, and support Bike Newport’s inclusive programs for bike safety education and advocacy. Thank you! Riders must be at least 18 years of age. Registration for subsequent dates becomes available as soon as the preceding ride has ended.
