The Tour de Francestown will return on Saturday, June 7, hosted by the Francestown Old Meeting House. The event begins with sign-in from 8 to 9 a.m. in the center of Francestown, followed by a 9 a.m. start.

Three ride options are available: a 30-mile gravel route through Francestown and Greenfield, a 50-mile gravel route through Francestown, Greenfield and Deering with 5,000 feet of elevation change and a 40-mile road loop designed with primarily paved surfaces and some hard pack. Gravel routes include Class VI roads and low-traffic pavement.

Helmets are required. Maps will be provided on paper and via Strava, and courses will be marked with arrows and cones. Bike wash stations will be available.

Live music will accompany lunch. Registration, which includes entry, rest stops and post-ride food, is open at bikereg.com/2025-tour-de-francestown through Thursday, June 5, at 5 p.m. Proceeds benefit the Francestown Old Meeting House.
