Hi Everyone,

I am a beginner biker. I just got my first road bike 2 months ago. My longest ride so far has been 25 miles. But I just signed up for the "Tour des Farms" bike tour in northeastern CT. It is on September 23rd. It starts in Woodstock, CT, and the tour is 40 miles. I live in CT, so it is a good choice for me.

It costs $35.00 and all of the proceeds go to the agricultural farms of northeastern CT.

It is not a race, just a tour of the local farms. There is also a winery that is on the route, and you can stop there too. I have been told that it can get hilly in places, so I am a little nervous, but I figure that I might as well try it.

I have a friend who is doing it with me, but she is a much more seasoned biker than I am.

If there is anyone interested in this, we would love the company. But just one warning - I am slow. So you might want to come with another friend so that you can go at a faster pace than me. My friend has promised to stay with me, so I know that I won't be alone.
