Every June cyclists of all ages and abilities gather at the Brattleboro Petting Farm on Route 30 to ride for reading. Participants pay an entry fee ($25 for adults, $5 for youth ages 5 through 15), choose one of three beautiful river valley routes (13, 32 or 60 miles) and bike with friends or family to help keep our award-winning Bookmobile program on the road.

All cyclists enjoy free food and drink along the way and go home with a Tour de Book water bottle and a new book of one's choice. Those who gather at least $50 in donations are also entitled to a free leg massage and are eligible for prizes donated by area bike shops.

Tour de Book 2008 is scheduled for Saturday, June 28. We hope you'll save the date and join us! Last year's 53 participants rated our ride event as the best in the area, and they'd love your company. You can download your registration form right here. Feel free to contact our office at (802) 257-5725 or wcreads@sover.net if you would like more information.
