The Route

The 30-mile Tour starts at 8:30 a.m. and the 10-mile Tour starts at 10:00am. They both end at 4:00 p.m. at the Shoreham Green, which is located 42 miles south of Burlington, just off of Route 22A. The terrain includes rolling hills with a mix of paved and dirt roads so a mountain bike or road bike with wide tires 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 15 between 8:30 - 10 a.m.
