Vermont Farm Tours' Annual Heart of the Islands Tour
Saturday, July 14, 2012

Bring your bike, friends and family to South Hero, Vermont for the second annual Heart of the Islands Bike Tour. Starting from Snow Farm Vineyard, cyclists will stop at an array of farms and art studios throughout the Lake Champlain Islands during the annual Open Farm and Studio Weekend. The ride is organized by Vermont Farm Tours, a local culinary tour business, as a fundraiser for Local Motion, a nonprofit promoting human-powered transportation and recreation in the greater-Burlington area.

Riders will choose between a 10, 25, or 35-mile route to explore a variety of island farms, art studios, and vineyards. All routes include a mix of lakeside views and scenic back roads. Wide shoulders on paved stretches, smooth dirt roads, and mild hills make for enjoyable cycling. There will be plenty of places to fill water bottles, rest, and purchase lunch or snacks along the route. Bicycles will be available to rent with prior arrangement.
