Tour dem Parks, Hon! is the annual tour of the Baltimore parks system, held the second Sunday of June. The Tour goes through Baltimore’s parks and neighborhoods, giving riders a up-close view of regional attractions and quietly tucked away gems. Participants choose from 4 routes: the 7mile family ride on the Jones Falls Trail,  12 miles, 25 miles, and 35 miles. The ride is followed by a relaxed barbecue with live jazz. Proceeds benefit Baltimore's parks, environment and cycling.

  

Le Grande Tour: (35 miles through all five main parks)
This is our most popular ride, designed for the experienced rider who wants to see Baltimore's parks and neighborhoods. This ride will take you through all five major parks (Carroll, Druid, Herring Run, Clifton, and Patterson) while passing through a number of of the other smaller parks that make Baltimore Bal'mer. Rest stops are frequent and fully stocked. 

Le Petite Tour:  (25 miles through three main parks)
This ride is a mix of trail and street riding going through three main parks and many  neighborhoods and smaller parks.


Family Ride: (12 miles up and down the Jones Falls Trail)
This is a short ride up and down the Gwynns Falls Trail connecting Carroll Park and Leakin Park. It's designed for families who want an off-road experience or for people who are just getting (back) into biking.

Park Ride: (7 miles, mostly flat)
