Tour de Creemee
Sunday Jun 30th 7:30 am to 3:00 pm@ 1168 County Road
Most longtime Vermont cyclists have heard of the Central Vermont Cycling Tour, Vermont's original, classic gravel grinder ride. We're thrilled to announce that the host of this ride, the wonderful folks at Cross Vermont Trail Association, have just passed the baton to Onion River Outdoors! This gorgeously scenic ride begins and ends at Morse Farm, home of the scrumptious maple creemee, so we have redubbed this ride "Tour de Creemee". Everything else will stay the same from the three routes - 15, 30 and 60 miles - to the convenient rest stops, the well marked routes and finally the wonderful, local picnic, including, of course, a celebratory creemee!
