6th Annual Tour de Pines Bicycle Tour

The 2010 Tour de Pines, sponsored by Pinelands Preservation Alliance, celebrates Pinelands Month in October with five consecutive single day bicycle tours of the New Jersey Pinelands.

The goal is twofold: to highlight the natural and historic features of the one million acres of the Pinelands, and to encourage New Jersey residents to get out and explore this unique environment.

Bicycle enthusiasts and Pinelands enthusiasts are invited to participate!
