Tour de Farm - 07/28/2012

A bike ride to support land conservation in the Upper Hudson Valley.

The Agricultural Stewardship Association (ASA) and Saratoga PLAN present the third annual Tour de Farm: Landscapes of the Saratoga Battlefield bicycle ride. Tour de Farm is an educational bicycle tour celebrating the beauty and productivity of the farmland that forms the backdrop for Saratoga National Historic Park. Riders chose between two scenic routes: a 15 mile ride, suitable for recreational riders, that stays east of the Hudson, and a 35 mile loop for intermediate riders that crosses the river and enters the Battlefield. Both routes include interesting stops at farms and historical sites, and a post-ride picnic featuring the delicious bounty of our local farms. Tour de Farm is not only an enjoyable bike ride to local farms and interesting historic sites; it is also a wonderful way to show support for our region’s health: the health of our community, land, farms, and local economies. Proceeds from this event benefit the conservation of the land we live, visit, and love. For more information on how to sign up, volunteer, or sponsor, visit biketourdefarm.wordpress.com
