Chilliwack Cycle Tour

“I am excited for the 1st Annual Slow Food Summer Cycle Tour in Chilliwack.  This event not only promotes healthy living but gives participants a taste of the bounty of a few of the more than 900 farms in our City.  A hearty thank you to the farmers and organizers of this educational and fun event.  May this be the beginning of many more annual tours.” Mayor Sharon Gaetz

Following up on a most successful 1st Cycle Tour in Chilliwack, Slow Food Vancouver is hosting the 2nd Tour.  In 2009, almost 700 slow cyclists, mostly from Vancouver, cycled the 25 km self-guided bicycle route while visiting farmers and producers in the Greendale area of Chilliwack.

2010 will feature new stops and also have a farmers market at the registration area at the end of the day for your last minute purchases. 

Stay the weekend and participate in the Agassiz Cycle Tour on Saturday. Last year the 3rd year for the Agassiz Slow Food Cycle Tour had almost 900 slow cyclists experiencing different farms and food offerings.
