Chilliwack Cycle Tour

“I am proud to say that Chilliwack farmers produce some of the best tasting food in the world. But don’t just take my word for it; come see for yourself and join us on the Chilliwack 2010 Slow Food Cycle tour. Once you have a taste, I am sure you’ll be just as proud too!”   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 including the Six Masters with their squab and Garden Back to Eden with heirloom tomatoes.

Stay the weekend and participate in the Agassiz Cycle Tour on Saturday.  Chilliwack has many accommodation offerings.  Click on the Where to Stay Chilliwack  Or, stay with our sponsor, the Coast Chilliwack Hotel.
