Welcome to the 17th annual Tour de Dirt: a spectacular bike ride exploring lesser-known roads in Floyd County. More than 50% of this ride will be held on unpaved state roads. Gravel bike, Cross bike, or Mountain bike friendly!!!

Four routes to choose from this year, and we will ride a short prologue at Floyd Family Campground to get to the various courses. Routes will be different from last year 

Full Pull / Fiddy Start Time: 8:30 am

Lite/Funn Start Time: 9 am / 9:15 am

14 mile Funn Ride! : Ride with GPS route:  Coming

75+ mile Full Pull : Ride with GPS route: Coming

There will be multiple aid stations with hydration and snacks for each route. Paper cue sheets will be available at the start and the courses will be fully marked!

This is a fully supported and signed tour; and not a race, meant for fun and fellowship. With (4) different distances to choose from, this event is inclusive of all cyclists who enjoy multi-surface bike rides and want to get out and explore the back roads of Floyd County.

All proceeds from the entry fee go to support Floyd's own Plenty! Farm & Fresh Food Pantry.

The Event start is Floyd Family Campground (Chantilly Farm) in Floyd. It is a great place to camp for the event!

Please plan to be there between 7am - 8am depending on what route your are riding, on Saturday, October 16th to sign in and grab some coffee and snacks. Free Coffee will be provided by Red Rooster! Free sweet rolls from Grateful Bread! 

Your registration includes on course aid stations PLUS a meal ticket for our Power Up Plenty! Chili Feast. Please purchase separate meal tickets for anyone in your party who is not registering for the bike tour. ------ Brewery,  Hammer Nutrition, The Best Kombucha, and Republic of Floyd are sponsoring the event and all registered riders will also get one ticket for the beverage of their choice. 

We'll be offering libations for sale as part of our Plenty! fundraiser. Come ready to chill out after the tour, and consider camping at FFC the night before, the night of, or both! Food and beer tickets are available for purchase to non-riders as well so bring the family and camp out at Floyd Family Campground!

Each rider will receive a hand made ceramic bowl donated by Empty Bowls @ Virginia Tech that you get to keep! Tables will be set up outdoors on the big covered stage for riders to relax after the tour and eat your chili. Both Vegetarian and Meat Chili will be available.
