Journey of the Heart Bike Tour: Friends of Karen: Join riders for a two day bike ride through Connecticut’s countryside for Friends of Karen’s 15th Annual Journey of the Heart Bike Tour. This two-day tour has it all. Seventy-five mile of riding on rolling Connecticut country roads and along the Houston River, a farm to table dinner, a hot tub, a massage and a BBQ lunch.
The ride will raise funds to support hundreds of families throughout the New York Tri-State region struggling to care for their child diagnosed with cancer or any other life-threatening illness.
Weekend Details
On Saturday (basic route 51.2 miles, extended route, 74.4 miles), we ride from The Bicycle Tour Company’s Headquarters in Kent, CT on rolling country roads to the Harlem Valley Rail Trail and Millerton. For lunch, we stop at Salisbury’s White Hart Inn; offering dishes highlighting seasonal ingredients sourced from nearby farms. After biking back to Kent, we drive to The Heritage Hotel for a dip in the pool (and hot tub), a massage at the Heritage Spa and a hearty dinner.
On Sunday (28.1 miles) we follow the route of Rochambeau’s 1781 French Army, and ride along the Housatonic River; through the New England countryside, cycling past miles of stone walls, farms and rolling fields. We return for a barbeque lunch at The Heritage Hotel before heading home after an inspiring weekend of riding! Accommodations for the bike tour are at the Heritage Hotel, 522 Heritage Road, Southbury, Connecticut.
