Tour de CROWN

Description:

Join us for the first-ever Tour de CROWN ride on Saturday, August 26! Presented by Great Parks, the Tour de CROWN is a ride for all ages and abilities, featuring existing and proposed trails in the CROWN’s expanding biking and walking network. Three distance options will start and end at Fifty West Brewing Company, right off the Little Miami Scenic Trail. Each route will feature rest stops and SAG support from Reser Bicycle Outfitters. Registration includes a post-ride snack, Fifty West beer, and the CROWN After Party along the trail. Best of all – the proceeds from this ride benefit Tri-State Trails and the advocacy work we do on behalf of our regional trail and bikeway network! Register today to explore the neighborhoods, scenery, and gems along the trail!
