Main Street Bartow, Inc. and Bartow Cycling Events are gearing up for the Tour de Tow on September 18th.
Front Page Brewing Co, 190 S. Florida Avenue, is now the permanent event location, hosting riders and cyclists.
Registration opens at 7:00 a.m. and the ride takes off at 8:00 a.m.
New this year is an early registration time on Friday night at Front Page from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Come register early and enjoy some “brews & bites” and get a jump on registering for the ride.
Masks and social distancing have become habitual for most, and will be stressed here as well.
As the largest organized road tour in Polk County, this is an on-road cycling tour along the scenic back roads of southern Polk County.
Gently rolling roads take our cyclists across the Peace River Basin through expansive citrus groves and around the old Florida backwoods.
Additionally, this is a cycling event that sets us apart by providing great cycling support via fully stocked rest stops with friendly volunteers, Sheriff Deputy escort, trailing vehicles for assistance and aid, course photographer, and great food provided by some of Bartow’s finest restaurants.
This is the only ride that gives the opportunity to one of our participating cyclists or groups to be the featured shirt art for the next year. This year’s winner is the group from Road and Trail Bicycles – the first year a whole cycling group has made the shirts.
Main Street Bartow, Inc. and Bartow Cycling Events won a Merit Award for an Outstanding Florida Main Street Fundraising Development Effort presented to us at the Florida Main Street Secretary of State Awards Dinner in August, 2017 for the Bloomin’ Bike Ride and Tour de Tow cycling events here in Bartow.
This year’s ride will once again feature a 65 and 35 mile road tour and a 17 mile family fun ride. Registration is on Bartow Cycling Events on Facebook or you can request a registration form from email Lillycat36@aol.com or register the day of the ride.
