Midshore Riverkeeper Conservancy (MRC) and Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) will host the 10th Annual Tour de Talbot on September 7, 2014, at the grounds of the Calhoon MEBA Engineering School on the banks of the beautiful Miles River. The ride will finish with a BBQ lunch and live music to celebrate your ride.
Come ride for clean rivers! Early registration at www.tourdetalbot.org is discounted. Register as an individual, join a team, or create your own team. Last year’s 375 registrants included pro riders, kids, and all cycling levels in between. Help us reach our goal of 500 riders for this year’s Tour de Talbot.
Registration includes lunch and a drink ticket, a tee shirt, rest stops with food and drinks, fully supported and marked routes of 20, 55, or 100 miles, and cheering crowds at the finish line. Kids under 16 ride free. Routes follow the flat, scenic back roads of Talbot County and multiple rest stops are located on the banks of the Wye and Choptank Rivers.
The ride supports the work of MRC to preserve and protect the Miles, Wye, and Choptank Rivers and Eastern Bay. And this year for the first time it also supports the work of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation to Save the Bay. Once you register, you can raise funds using the event website, and win prizes too! The rider who raises the most money will win a Diamondback road bike that retails for $2,200! Don’t miss it! Visit www.tourdetalbot.org for all the details.
