Six days of riding are offered for the 2013 Tour, beginning on Friday afternoon with our prologue ride. Each day the routes vary in length and level of challenge. You will generally have 2 route choices on riding days. Every route has a difficulty rating from 1-10 determined by climbing and distance. Riders of all abilities and ages enjoy participating in the tour. Routes average 40-50 miles per day which can be ridden at a leisurely pace. We choose our bike routes based on beauty, history, interesting geography, and your riding safety.
