The Tour de Trenton returns for 2019 on Sunday, Oct. 20, at 1 p.m.
It’s not a race, but a leisurely tour of the city to celebrate all things made in Trenton past and present. Trenton Cycling Revolution has partnered with Terracycle with support from The Trenton Council of Civic Associations for the “Made in Trenton” tour.
This is inspired by one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks, the Lower Trenton Bridge, also known as the “Trenton Makes, The World Takes” bridge.
The ride will focus on the city’s past and present showcasing locations of businesses that speak to the phrase Made in Trenton. The route is 14 miles and will include a rest stop with facilities at the halfway point. A ride themed T-shirt is included with registration for the first 100 riders.
The tour is escorted by the Trenton Police Department and attracts people from neighboring communities as well as New York and Pennsylvania.
The number of volunteers and attendees continues to grow with recent rides having over 150 riders.
This year’s riders will meet in the parking lot of the William Trent House at 15 Market St., Trenton. Ride is $15 with online registration, $20 day-of. Register online at www.TrentonCycling.org
Trenton Cycling Revolution is an all-volunteer community organization, originally founded in the 1990s.
