Tour de Greenbelt

Whether a weekend recreational rider, seasoned cyclist or one seeking a more adventurous course, Greenbelt’s annual Tour de Greenbelt offers a course to fit all levels of experience. All while riding through the beautiful landscapes of Essex County and benefiting local land conservation. Tour de Greenbelt, on September 21, 2024, offers untimed routes that can be enjoyed at a rider’s own pace– a half-century (50 miles) and a recreational route (25 miles) on paved roads, and two Gravel Grinder off-road excursions into protected forests and reservations. The ride begins at 9:00 am at Allyn Cox Reservation, 82 Eastern Ave., Essex, MA. Riders will enjoy cycling past more than 50 of Greenbelt’s protected properties, venturing into state forests, traversing farmland, then returning to Cox Reservation for food, beer, and live music under the Big Tent.
