Forget about that Groundhog — the surest sign that spring
is right around the corner is that Tour dem Parks is just a few short months
away, and that registration is now OPEN! We are already counting down to
Tour Day — Sunday, June 12th. As in years past, we are offering four options
for routes:
The Family Ride — a laid-back, kid-friendly
12-mile jaunt highlighting the Gwynn’s Falls Trail.
Le Petite Tour — a 25-mile ride great for
newbies or those recently returned to the joy of cycling, showing off a nice
sampling of Baltimore’s great parks from large to small.
Le Grand Tour — a 36-mile ride through the
five largest parks (Gwynn’s Falls/Leakin, Druid Hill, Clifton, Patterson,
Carroll) and many neighborhood and street parks.
The Metric Century – our fourth Metric
Century ride (64 miles), for experienced riders only, which once again features
an all-new route.

size as part of the registration process to make double-triple sure you get the
size you want!
