Join us on the Tour de Heifer!
The third annual Tour de Heifer happens on Sunday, June 9! The Tour is a trio of challenging but highly scenic rides with 15-mile, 30-mile and 60-mile routes. There is also a five-mile walking option.
All of the Tour de Heifer routes are almost entirely on dirt roads, and all of them entail considerable elevation change. (That is, hill-climbing!)
And all of the routes begin and end at Lilac Ridge Farm in West Brattleboro, and feature incredible views, farm and woodland terrain, New England villages (one with a covered bridge), and much more.
Registration includes a farm-fresh lunch and entertainment back at Lilac Ridge (for 60-milers, there’s a lunch spread about halfway at Green River).
For complete details, route maps, and to sign up, PLEASE VISIT OUR REGISTRATION PAGE AT BIKEREG.COM. (This is the registration page for both cyclists and hikers.)
The tour is a fund-raiser for our Vermont Farm/Food Business Plan Competition. Riders also have the option to fundraise for other non-profit organizations, with a 50-50 proceeds share between the Stroll and the other organization. We do not have a fancy online fundraising setup. If you want to do fundraising, just get in touch with Julie Potter, our friendly general manager, and she will get you started with information and a fund-raising kit. You can call her at 802-490-6366 or email her at julie.strollingoftheheifers@gmail.com.
Use of appropriate bikes is strongly recommended — mountain bikes, cross-bikes, or (maybe) road bikes fitted with 28mm knobby tires.
