What is Tour de Slate?

  The Tour de Slate 'ride to end addiction' is a bicycle ride that raises funds for Adult and Teen Challenge Vt. The rides are centered in and around Middletown Springs, Vt. and the neighboring towns.                                                       The Tour de Slate is made up of six different routes designed to provide an enjoyable ride no matter what your level of experience.  There will be two 'groad' rides. That's a mix of unpaved gravel roads and paved roads. As like last year, there will be a 40 mile guided route and a shorter guided route of appx 25 miles. Your guides will be local elite gravel riders and will be a 'no drop' rides. For more information about the rides, go to the menu bar click 'rides'.
   For avid road cyclists, is the metric century (100km, 63.4 mi) ride. The additional choices of a  36 mile route, a 25 mile route or a family ride (off road on a trail) will ensure that there is a ride suitable for everyone. The 'Tour de Slate' is aptly named as it tours the world renowned slate valley of western Vermont and bordering NY state. The beneficiary of the ride is Adult and Teen Challenge, VT. (All net proceeds will be donated to that organization.)
