It is an excellent option for beginners, students, families, and anyone who prefers a shorter and more comfortable ride.

• Who can ride the new 5-mile course?  The 5-mile course is open to everyone. We especially encourage students, families, newer cyclists, members, and riders of different abilities to join us. Our goal is to make Tour de Shore an event where everyone can feel welcome and included.

• ​Is the new 5-mile course still part of Tour de Shore?  Absolutely! it remains an important part of the Tour de Shore experience. Come ride with us, enjoy the community, and be part of the day, and end your special at at the Westbrook Elk's Lodge with all other riders!
