Follow on Google News | Bike & Bites:Culinary Bike Tour Round TwoGreater Boston Chef Takes Cooking on the Road with Culinary Bike Tour
This one-day excursion will highlight the best of local flavors as riders embark on a 35-mile bike ride, making stops at some of the best local food & wine purveyors including Verrill Farms in Concord, MA, historical Walden Pond in Concord, MA and finally Tryst in Arlington, MA. “I wanted to do something that was out-of-the-box and really highlighted the fall season. Everyone does squash soups and seasonal specials… I wanted to do something where diners got to experience it all-- from the weather, to the farm that the food comes from, to a local historical site that accentuates the region,” said Chef Paul Turano. “Dining should be an experience- and this is the ultimate New England experience.” The tour starts at 11:00 AM when the group meets at Quad Cycles, the area’s premier bicycle shop located on Massachusetts Avenue in Arlington, MA. A Quad Cycles Ambassador will lead the group to their first stop, the scenic Verrill Farm in Concord, MA, for a traditional country experience. There, the group will enjoy two fall favorites: a hayride tour of the 100 acre farmland followed by cider and a slice of homemade apple pie. Riders will then head to Walden Pond in Concord, MA, where they can attend a semi-guided tour of the historical site featuring the former home of Henry David Thoreau and a breath-taking 335 acres of wildlife and trails. Finally the group will head back to Arlington where they can reap the benefits of their hard work during a two course dinner at Tryst Restaurant. This all-inclusive, 35-mile culinary bike tour is $40 per person and includes tours of Verrill Farm and Walden Pond, and dinner at Tryst (please note: alcohol and gratuity are not included at dinner).
