Sunday August 17 2008
Register and start at the Pemberton Community Centre
No pre-registration necessary.
Just get here.
Bring your bike and helmet, a waterbottle, your appetite and cash, and graze your way up the valley.
When? Sunday August 17, 2008
9am - 4pm
Where? Start at the Community Centre on Pemberton Meadows Road (follow the signs from Hwy 99). Sign in at the registration table any time from 9am on. Our guru registration crew will be able to answer any questions you have.
The ride follows the flat, scenic Pemberton Meadows Road for 26 km, through the Lillooet River Valley. A map will be provided at the start of the ride, outlining participating farms and rest-stops.
How much? Participation in the event is free.
Participating farms, chefs and artists will be offering their produce for sale during the ride. A modest budget for sampling food and lunch throughout the ride would be $25.
Slow Food Cycle Sunday locally designed/printed t-shirts and grocery totes are available.
Be sure to bring cash with you, as none of the farms will have Interact.
Who? Visit the Vendor Information page (coming soon) to see the most recent list of participating farms for 2008.
