Bike Ride from Oshkosh to Fisk - July 20

I'm not on FB and it's not allowing me to reply, but hoping to be there this year!
 
Are there bikes we can rent for this?
 
I can’t get the FB event to load, what is the distance?

8 miles, mostly flat, according to Martin's post on FB.

I ordered an e- bike today. If it shows up before Thursday next, I'm hoping to go on this.

As @Jim K said, it's 8 miles each way. Here is the full description I posted on FaceBook, for anyone who can't access it there:

This is a bike ride along Fisk Avenue, which is part of the famous Fisk Arrival which tens of thousands of airplanes fly over to get to AirVenture each year. We'll ride our bicycles to Fisk where we can see the air traffic controllers who run Fisk Approach. Afterwards, we'll stop at Wehrmann's Bar in Fisk for a refreshment before heading back to Oshkosh.

Meeting location is the registration area of Camp Scholler (Neunteufel Ave, near Poberezny Rd). Look for the area with all the flag poles across from registration; departure from there will be at 1:00 PM on Sunday, July 20.

The route is about 8 miles each way and fairly flat. Fisk Ave itself is very quiet and bike-friendly, but be prepared to mix with other traffic until we get there. Ride at your own risk. Helmets and locks are encouraged.

Here is a map showing the starting point (Camp Scholler registration area, red marker):

I’d love to do this, but won’t have a bike up there. My little e-scooter might make it there, but not back again.
Someone asked about bike rental options. Is that a thing? In years past I’m told you could buy one at a goodwill store cheap, then just donate it back before leaving.

Here is what somebody has posted on the Facebook discussion around this ride:

There is a play-it-again sports past the target, you could try calling them see if you can work out a rental, or buy and sell back.

Pre-order at Target and donate to goodwill.

Goodwill at one time had a program of renting bikes, this has not been offered the last several years I have asked.
 
Would @Skyrys62 's Prius count as a bicycle?
 
Sorry we had to bail after starting the ride! Found I had a couple broken spokes.
