Description
Enjoy panoramic views and beautiful back roads while visiting local farms in Shoreham and Orwell, Vermont. Most farm stops along the way will have multiple food produces who will offer you a taste of something they are known for. Don't forget to bring a fork, spoon and a bowl for tasting the samples! You might also want to bring cash in case you'd like to purchase products along the way. You won't have to carry it all on the bike; we'll have a farm van to pick up your purchases and deliver them to the finish for you!
Choose from a 10-mile ride (great for families with younger riders), or a 30-mile ride. Much of the course is along dirt and/or gravel roads, so grab your gravel grinder or your mountain bike. If you've got a road bike, consider putting wider tires on it for this ride. It'll be worth it!
Commemorative t-shirts, bike jerseys, and post-race food tickets are available for pre-sale.
No One Turned Away for Lack of Funds. Please get in touch with us if you’d like a scholarship or to purchase a ticket on a sliding scale: [email protected].
