Hats off for the 11th year to Road & Trail Bicycles for their continued support and sponsorship of the Tour de Tow AND the Blooming Bike Ride. We appreciate it more than you know. Thanks Jason and crew at Road & Trail. We are THRILLED that our first brewery in town is open. Front Page Brewing is an awesome and valued addition to our Main Street District. We are thankful that they are the Tour de Tow Staging Host. We will have plenty for you to eat. Beer will be on you, so please bring a "card" as the Brewery does not take CASH. If you haven't riden with us before, the Tour de Tow scenic road tour features a 17 mile family fun ride, 35 mile and 65 mile road tour. Ride along and experience our tranquil countryside and settle into some hometown cycling hospitality when you return from your ride here in Beautiful Bartow. Registration is at 7am with an 8am ride start. Main Street Bartow, Inc. and Bartow Cycling Events is dedicated to promoting the quality of life in Bartow using various cycling events which currently include, the Bloomin' Bike Ride in March, and the Tour de Tow in September. Our objective is to promote Bartow as an active community that fosters and encourages a healthy lifestyle and a love of cycling. This year's T-SHIRTS run pretty true to size, so order accordingly, we will not be able to change sizes the day of event. RIDE SUPPORT!
