Sun 8/29….Tours leave @ 8AM & 10AM
Grab your bike and join the 1st Annual Farm ‘n Barn Bike Tour on Sun 8/29. You’ll get to bike through the beautiful Cuyahoga Valley National Park while stopping at Countryside Initiative Farms along the way. You’ll learn all about the Countryside Initiative program and actually meet the people who grow the food.
Here’s a quick briefing on the program:
The Countryside Initiative is an ambitious effort, begun in 1999, to rehabilitate and revitalize 20 or so of the picturesque old farms which operated in the Cuyahoga Valley from the 19th century to the mid 20th — thereby restoring for public use and enjoyment many of the historic, scenic, natural and recreational values for which Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP) was created, particularly the Valley’s “rural landscape and rural character.”
Three routes to choose from: 12 miles, 32 miles, or 52 miles. Post ride event will offer fresh lunches created from food grown at CI farms. Register now!
Start & Finish at Sarah’s Vineyard — 1204 W. Steels Corners Road — Cuyahoga Falls
