Brief Description:  The 14th annual Tour de Leaves, which is one of the area's most scenic bicycle rides, begins at the Harmon Field log cabin. Day of ride registration begins at 7:30 a.m. Saturday, with the first riders leaving on the course at 9:00 a.m. Advance registration is currently open online at www.active.com. The three main rides (Grande, Petite Grande, and Lite) travel through areas of fall colors, making the rides especially beautiful and enjoyable. They also offer plenty of climbing. The views are fantastic and we have plenty of well-stocked rest stops available along the routes. The 4 or 8-mile Family Fun Ride provides those with less expertise an opportunity to also enjoy the fall colors along the easier, meandering route. Lunch and showers are available at no additional cost to the riders after the ride. Donations for lunch will be accepted for family members not registered as riders.

Tour de Leaves Grande:  For the hearty rider! Climb the stairsteps of Green River Cove, through Saluda and the Lake Summit area before the steep descent back to Harmon Field

Tour de Leaves Petite Grande:  For those who desire the challenge of the stairsteps of Green River Cove, but wish for a shorter route back to Harmon Field. This ride is not an official ride of the TdL. The cue sheet was made for those who decide they have had enough riding by the time they get to the top of the Green River Cove and want to return straight back to Harmon Field. There are no TdL Volunteers or markings for this route.

Tour de Leaves Lite:  Beautiful route through the Hunting Country of Polk County, North Carolina. Minimal climbing throughout the route.

Tour de Leaves Family Fun Ride:  Relax with the entire family on this short loop around Warrior Drive. Easy ride for anyone!
