Intro to Bicycle Touring

Intro to Bicycle Touring is a weekend event that offers the opportunity to practice the critical elements of bicycle touring to build your confidence in joining longer events. This route follows the bike path to Milford and then connects to low use roads on the loop. This will build your confidence to tour beyond the bike paths and to overcome those hills that are not on rail trails.
