Tour de Farms – Cycle 360’s Exciting Support for a Worthy Cause!

Cycle 360 is super excited to be supporting 2024’s Tour de Farms!

Cycle 360 is excited to be part of the highly anticipated Tour de Farms, a cycling event that blends community spirit, local produce, and stunning Manx scenery—all for a great cause. Mark your calendars for 29th September, 2024.

What’s All the Hype About?

Tour de Farms is a unique farm-to-fork social cycling event, designed to bring together cycling enthusiasts and food lovers alike. Following the success of last year’s inaugural ride, the 2024 edition promises to be even bigger and better. With the generous support of the Isle of Man Creamery and us(!), this event is set to be a memorable occasion.

Cyclists will embark on a scenic 50-mile route through beautiful pastures and diverse terrains. Along the way, riders will have the chance to savour delectable Manx produce at three local farm stops. It’s not just a ride; it’s a full-on sensory experience celebrating the best of local agriculture!

The first stop at Glendown Farm in Port St Mary, will see breakfasty items on display, as well as water refills for all riders

The second farm stop is near Cringle Plantation at Ballacricket, where Vicki and family will be putting on a very cheesy experience!

Lastly, at Patrick, where the infamous cow statue is, sweet treats like scones and cakes will be available for all riders to tuck into and get them fuelled to bring them home.

Cycle 360’s Special Touch

We’re excited to add our own special flair to the Tour de Farms experience. At the start line, we’ll be serving FREE coffee to all 150 participants from our airstream trailer, Stella.

But that’s not all. Every rider will also find a FREE exclusive Tour de Farms t-shirt in their IOM Creamery ‘World’s Best Goodie Bags’ . It’s our way of saying thank you for supporting this fantastic event and contributing to a noble cause.

A Worthy Cause: Supporting Hospice Isle of Man

Entry fees from Tour de Farms will go directly to Hospice Isle of Man, providing crucial support to individuals and families across the island. This charity is dedicated to offering compassionate care and support during challenging times, making every contribution deeply meaningful.
