Bike the Barns is a fully supported recreational road cycling tour that highlights the rich agricultural movement of the North Country. Riders are invited to stop at farm stops along the route to connect with the producers who are driving our region’s local food revolution. The ride culminates with a finish line celebration complete with local food, beverages and live music.
This year’s route will start and end at Ausable Brewing Company in Keeseville with stops at Northern Orchard and the Babbie Rural and Farm Learning Museum in Peru and Mace Chasm Farm and North Country Creamery in Keeseville. The finish-line meal will be served by Northern Feast Catering with beverages provided by Ausable Brewing Company. Adirondack “Ulterier-folk” band Nubble will entertain riders and supporters under the pavilion.
