This year's Tour de Barnstable is a 38-mile ride through Osterville, Centerville, Hyannis Port and Hyannis and passes by many of Barnstable Land Trust's conservation properties. To celebrate BLT's 40th Anniversary, you can also choose to complete a special loop to make it a 40 mile ride! This ride benefits Barnstable Land Trust and Devo Cycling, two local nonprofits that work to support the community and make this a special place to live. Open to everyone, this ride is your chance to get on the road this spring!
By riding and fundraising for Barnstable Land Trust, you are directly helping us preserve the natural resources and special places in the Town of Barnstable and nearby areas, for present and future generations. We work with landowners to protect their land for conservation and take advantage of federal and state incentives. We build and maintain trails, provide outdoor connection and education and steward over 1,100 acres of land in Barnstable.
Thank you for supporting Barnstable Land Trust! We are so grateful to our riders, fundraisers and "funraisers"!
