Bike riding can be delicious!

We appreciate that when you ride through the beautiful and agriculturally rich Greenbelt that you might get a little hungry.  It's like going to a grocery store on an empty stomach.  Especially in September when the lands have been busy producing gorgeous foods all season, the corn is high and the air doesn't have the same sticky humidity and smog as it does in the city currently.

So, when you finish your bike ride as part of the Tour de Greenbelt on September 17th, whether you did the 12k, 25k, 50k, 75k, or 100k, we know you'll enjoy your greenbelt grown lunch at the end.  And we know you'll probably have increased your appreciation for where it came from having just ridden through part of the greenbelt, home to over 7,000 Ontario farms.

Today, I happened upon a Farmers' Market.  This is such a great time of year for them when you can still get early crops like strawberries and raspberries and also a whole range of other goodies like zucchini, lettuce, cherries, pepper, tomatoes, and peaches... oh those Ontario peaches!  So, sign up for the Tour de Greenbelt and enjoy your greenbelt grown food until then.
