ABOUT THE TOUR
The Harvest Homecoming Bicycle Tour is one of the most picturesque rides offered to cyclists in Southern Indiana/Metro Louisville (KY). The tour winds along the back roads of Southern Indiana with views of fall colors accenting the Ohio River Valley. This is a leisurely tour for beginner, intermediate, and advanced cyclists. The routes vary from gently rolling to hilly. Once you've ridden this ride, you'll want to return every year!
SCHEDULE & ROUTES
Packet pickup and late registration will begin at 7:30 a.m. and each distance group will mass start around 9:00 a.m. Routes and the SAG at Heritage Park will remain open until 4:00 p.m. The New Middletown SAG closes at approximately 3:00 pm.

SAFETY FIRST!
The foremost concern of the Harvest Homecoming Bicycle Tour is the safety of all participants. Cycling helmets are mandatory for all participants! Please obey all traffic laws and respect the rights of motorists and fellow cyclists. All cyclists under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
Should an emergency vehicle need to access the road you are on for an emergency run, please STOP, DISMOUNT and CLEAR the road.
BREAKFAST
We know it's important to start your day off right so for breakfast, grab a cup of Starlight Coffee and then enjoy the fun and taste of Chris Cakes pancakes and sausage - served up (and up and up) hot off the griddle.
POST-RIDE FOOD
In an effort to keep ride costs low, but also have food available on site, we have arranged to have Booty's Diner food truck available from 11:00 to 3:00 at your cost. Booty's will have their full menu, including their vegan menu available. We will provide ice cream for all participants.
SAGS
Riders on the 28, 40 and 69-mile routes will visit our New Middletown SAG twice on their routes. Riders on the 66-mile route will also enjoy a SAG stop at scenic Mauckport aside the Ohio River. Our enthusiastic mobile SAG teams will cover all routes, ready to offer help and encouragement.
MASSAGE
If you've got some kinks to work out, enjoy a complimentary Myofascial Release Massage from SIW's own, Mrs. Naydu Osorio Gonzalez (OTR/L, LMT). This hands-on advanced bodywork & stretching massage will be available before or after your ride. You won't believe how much better you feel after this massage. And, yes, it's free! (But, come on now, tips are appreciated!)
