IRON TOUR

 

Welcome to the 2021 French Creek Iron Tour!

Save the Date for Sunday, June 13!

Here we are in 2021 and unfortunately still coping with Covid-19. The Iron Tour was one of the first rides in 2020 to be forced to go virtual due to the pandemic, but thanks to our loyal riders, it was a success. The Iron Tour Committee is at work preparing for whatever format(s) we are able to present for this year’s Iron Tour. We are certainly hoping we can return to what we know best and enjoy most, an in-person ride.

Please check back frequently for more details.

Each year, 1,000 people anticipate French & Pickering’s French Creek Iron Tour. Their reasons include love of northern Chester County’s open space, community-building and family connection, support for French & Pickering, and personal health goals.
