The Farmington Valley Trails Council Board of Directors is excited to once again be able to hold our Annual Member Appreciation Ride and Picnic.  Join us on Saturday, May 31st at Granbrook Park in East Granby.  We will offer two rides, a 30-mile and a 12-mile ride.  Upon riders’ return to Granbrook Park, a picnic lunch will be waiting.

The FVTC is proud to show off the finest trail system in New England and to let both veteran users and brand-new participants know how much we love it. 

Please arrive at least 30 minutes prior to your start time to sign-in and get yourself ready. All rides utilize the trail system and allow participants to enjoy some of the most spectacular scenery in the Farmington Valley.   Light snacks (energy bars & water) will be provided at the start of the ride, and a picnic lunch will be provided upon riders’ return to the park.

Same day participants will be accepted on the day of the event but letting us know you plan to join us will ensure we have enough food for all.

*Helmets are required*
