ABOUT THE RIDE......
The "Tour De Donut" bike race is a spoof of the "Tour De France". This appetizing 30 mile bike race is a fun race with rest stops every 10 miles where racers can get water, fruit, first aid, use the bathroom, and get delectable DONUTS. For every tasty donut eaten, a tempting three minuts are deducted from your official finish time. There are only two tules: All donuts must be eaten in the "Donut Zones" and if you toss your cookies- you're DQ'd. The race has well marked roads, assisted crossings, sag support, awards, prizes, and is tons of fun for families, individuals, and even experienced cyclists. The race begins and ends at Klackle Orchards Family Fun Farm west of Greenville. The course follows llightly used rural roads and a paved scenic bike trail. Are you a good enough cyclist and donut eater to go into negative time? Competitive cyclists- whats your strategy? Are you a "glutton" for punishment?
YOU CAN RACE OR JUST RIDE FOR FUN.....
Keep in mind, 30 miles is no easy task for many mortals! If this is true for you, your family and friends, and perhaps you are looking for a less competitive ride, then ride the 10 mile Family Fun Ride. This group of riders will leave the start shortly after the racers, however they will not be issued race numbers nor will they be timed. They will ride the first 10 miles and "short-cut" to the finish line to enjoy fresh squeezed cider and apple crisp donuts as their reward. Perhaps make it a family challenge! Entry fee is the same and included is a Fun Ride T- shirt, refreshments, and a chance at some really cool participant awards.
