Description
Join Darke County Parks for our 3rd annual Tour de Darke!
Spend your Sunday morning in the saddle on a leisurely ride through the scenic countryside and quaint communities of Darke County. This event is not a race, and instead a tour of the sites. There are three scenic routes to appeal to all cyclists - Mini (14 miles), Lower Split (36 miles), Upper Split (40 miles) & Full (65 miles). All routes begin and end at the Bish Discovery Center (404 N. Ohio St., Greenville OH 45331)
In order to ensure proper support from our volunteers, we ask all cyclists to begin their ride as listed below.
~~ Mini - start at 8am; no later than 9am
~~ Lower/Upper Splits - start at 7am; no later than 8:30am
~~ Full- start at 6:30am; no later than 7:30am
Cyclists are encouraged to finish their selected course by 1pm - please adjust your departure time as needed. Thank you.
Fully Supported w/ Rest Stops (snacks/drinks!) and SAG provided by Countryside Bike Shop.
All roads are marked and a portion will include the Tecumseh Trail Multi-use Bike Path, with proceeds benefitting future bike trail projects. Registration (prior to June 28th @ 1pm) includes a snazzy TBD Swag!
