The Route
The 37-mile Tour starts with waves of riders leaving between 9:00 - 9:30 am. and the 8-mile Tour starts between 10:00- 10:30 am. The terrain includes rolling hills with a mix of paved and dirt roads so a gravel or mountain bike is required. Participants will be sharing the road with vehicles.
While we recommend the Tour for children over 14 years old, children under 14 should be experienced road riders and must be accompanied by an adult as the roads are not closed to traffic. The views of the Champlain Valley landscape are beautiful and camera-worthy.
Riders will be able to purchase products directly from the farms and vendors. ACORN provides a concierge van that brings purchases back to the finish so that riders can make as many purchases as they’d like and not worry about carrying them on their bikes.
Please arrive for registration on September 19 between 8:30 - 9:00 am for the 37 mile tour and 9:30 - 10:00 am for the 8 mile tour.
Inexperienced and slower riders should plan to leave as close to 9:00am as possible to ensure they complete the route, which is a little longer than in previous years. Farm stops are open at specific times with hard closing times. We will be sending off staggered waves of riders, so don't feel like you have to be first in line. Staggered waves prevent the farm stops and roads from becoming overwhelmed and congested.
