The Tenth Annual  
French Creek Iron Tour  
Cycling for Open Space

Sunday, June 10, 2012

Join over 1,500 riders for scenic cycling through Iron Furnace country and have a blast! The French and Pickering Creeks Conservation Trust preserves open space where iron blast furnaces and forges served as cornerstones of industry in colonial Pennsylvania – hence “Iron Tour.”

When you ride in the French Creek Iron Tour, you have a direct impact on the preservation of the pristine countryside that surrounds you. Since 1967, the French and Pickering Creeks Conservation Trust has protected more than 9000 acres of open space in northern Chester County.

With courses ranging from 9 to 100 miles, there’s something for everyone – from seasoned riders looking for a challenge to families with kids in tow.

Registration will open soon. Please check back. Registration will close at 1800 riders or at 5 p.m., June 5, whichever comes first. There will be no day-of-event registration.

SPONSORSHIPS FOR 2012 ARE AVAILABLE (See attached form)

Comments on the 2011 Tour

Here’s what some riders had to say about their 2011 experience:

Please accept my and my daughter's thanks for a job well done!  We rode the Century and found your organization to be exceptional - registration, safety, road guards, SAG wagons, FOOD-I can't say enough good about the way it all was handled.

1st organized bicycle event I've attended and the longest ride I've ever done (50 mi)!! The support and organization was stellar and made a first timer like myself welcome and well fed!! Scenic and well marked route, great rest stops, and awesome people (both volunteers, fire police and riders). I'll be back!!

Great ride, support, weather, and friends! This is my second year and plan on making it for my third next year.

It was our first family bike tour, and we had a GREAT time! Thank you to all your staff and volunteers who made this so fun for us!

It was my first tour ever, and you guys made it all enjoyable. It was a very well organized event!
