The Tour de KSC 2011 took place Saturday, October 15th from 8 a.m. – noon.

This year's signature event will be a stop at the VAB with an opportunity to walk into the VAB and view the Orbiter, Endeavor, housed in High Bay 4. (See Maps for help in selecting your route.)

This year, riders will have options on where you'd like to go. There are four "loops" that you may take. The first is from the Visitor Complex to the VAB. This loop is approximately 12 miles. Second is from the VAB and around Pad B for an additional 10 miles. The third loop is from the VAB and around the SLF for an additional 11 miles. The fourth tour is from the Causeway, around the Industrial Area (up by the SSPF) for an additional 4 miles.

It is recommended that riders going more than 12 miles first go from the Visitor Complex to Pad B, loop around the pad, and then stop at the VAB to avoid too big of a crowd at the VAB. Riders must stay within the defined loops.
