Brown’s Brewing Company of Hoosick Falls and Troy, NY and Anthem Sports of Cambridge, NY are excited to announce the First Annual Brown’s Brewing Covered Bridge Cycling Tour on Saturday, September 19.

Participants can choose from 20, 30, or 50 mile supported rides, with fully stocked rest stops, mechanical and sag support, marked courses, ride maps, and cue sheets. Also, a post-ride, locally inspired lunch and craft beer (or beverage of choice) will await riders at the brewery taproom – located in a beautifully restored 19th century mill along the Walloomsac River – and is included with registration. All riders are also invited to take a free, guided tour of the brewery for a glimpse of how Brown’s makes its award-winning ales and lagers.
A $7 donation for every Brown’s t-shirt sold the day of the ride will benefit the Agricultural Stewardship Association, a not for profit whose mission is to protect farmland in the community.
“We are thrilled to host this tour that celebrates the amazing landscape of the farms, bridges, and rivers of our rural life, and we welcome visitors to tour our production brewery,” said Garry Brown of Brown’s Brewing Company.
Registration is open at www.greatamericancycling.com until Wednesday, September 16. See the registration page for start times and course maps. This tour is limited to the first 200 registered riders. Brown’s Brewing is located at 50 Factory Hill Road in Hoosick Falls, NY. For more information on the brewery, visit www.brownsbrewing.com.[/private]
