Agassiz Cycle Tour

August 21, 2010

A Slow Food Cycle Event

Starting at the Fall Fair Grounds in Agassiz (FITNESS ACTIVITY CENTRE) after breakfast prepared by Kilby Farms and perked up with a Back Porch Coffee, leisurely cycle a self-guided tour around a 25 km flat route visiting farms and meeting farmers.  Stops feature special events, guided tours, samples, taste plates to purchase and a wide variety of fresh and food products available to purchase and take home.  The ‘shopping shuttle service’ is available as panniers only hold so much.

Spend the weekend. This year we have a Saturday night Chehalis Traditional Salmon Feast! Sts’ailes Tourism welcomes us to the Charlie Long House.  Starting at 6pm, enjoy a feast, stories, dance and arts.

Enjoy great accommodations and romantic getaways in the area, from the Harrison Hotsprings Resort, to nearby Provincial and private campgrounds, to cozy bed-and-breakfasts (click on ‘Where to Stay’ on the left of this page). The following day, join us on the Chilliwack Cycle Tour where you experience new farms,  food offerings and spectacular scenery.

Tour Date:  August 21nd, 2010 (rain or shine)

Times:  9am – 4pm (arrive and leave at your leisure!)

Price:  Adults $10/day or $15/both days (includes detailed event brochure and cycling maps and some tastings along the way). Children 12 and under are FREE!  Net proceeds from this event, along with donations to our Terra Madre Fund, will go towards sponsoring local farmers to attend Terra Madre 2010. BC is under-represented at this event and we have some of the best agriculture land and water with farmers with amazing expertise, knowledge and experience.   Let’s send one youth farmer for each of our food communities..
