Default Orange County (NY) "Country Roads" Bicycle Tour

The Country Roads Bicycle Tour returns Sunday, September 10, offering
choice routes on uncrowded roads through the varied landscape of Orange
County, in New York's Hudson Valley.

The routes range in style from a ten-mile circuit for children and
once-in-a-while riders, to a challenging metric century through rolling
farmland and over forested ridges. All rides begin and end at Warwick
High School in Warwick, New York.

The tour is sponsored by the Orange County Bicycle Club (OCBC).
Registration fees cover route plans, mechanical support, rest stops,
banquet, entertainment, and a pair of cycling socks. Registration is
$35 in advance, $40 on the day of the event, and $15 for children under
12.

With the Country Roads Tour, the Orange County Bicycle Club remembers
its friend Frank Colace, who died last year. A portion of the proceeds
from the tour will benefit the National Kidney Foundation in Frank's
memory.

Proceeds will also benefit the Orange County Land Trust (an
organization dedicated to preserving open space) and the Sanctuary for
Animals (an animal rescue farm in Orange County).

Country Roads is considered one of the premier bicycle events of its
kind in the Northeast. In past years, it has attracted 1,200 to 1,600
participants. For more information, go to
