The early registration fee is $30, and registration at the event is $35. All registration includes an event t-shirt and swag bag.

Melissa Kimble, Foundation Development Coordinator said

The Tour de Forest is a recreational bike ride, highlighting the beautiful piney woods of Northeast Texas. The ride will have loop routes of 19, 36 and 50 miles so riders of all skill levels will be able to enjoy a beautiful day outside and test their skills if they wish. All routes are on paved roads, will be supported by professionals and have multiple rest stops.

This event is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy God’s beautiful creation and promote physical activity. With the wonderful support of Atlanta and the Cass County community, this event and our efforts will benefit those who need our support through the efforts of the CHRISTUS St. Michael Atlanta Foundation.

Each Tour de Forest participant will receive a ticket to the festival, also scheduled for Saturday, June 2, to hear Time Warp the Band. With handpicked, seasoned artists from an array of impressive backgrounds and experiences, Time Warp is one of DFW’s premier special event party bands.

All proceeds from the Tour de Forest benefit the CHRISTUS St. Michael Atlanta Foundation.
