The event will offer different route options, ranging from about 10 miles to about 75 miles, to suit individual riders’ abilities and preferences. Each route will bring cyclists past mountain views and agricultural landscapes and include rest stops at a variety of farms including vegetable, dairy and livestock operations, where farmers will lead tours throughout the day.

The finish line celebration with feature a local food meal, local beverages and live music at Tucker Farms. The Great Adirondack Corn Maze, an annual offering at Tucker’s, will be open for participants to explore.

All proceeds are used to support local farms and a portion of every rider’s event fee will go directly into the FarmShare fund, which helps support and promote a sustainable and equitable regional food system.
