GREENVILLE—It was the cross section between biking, local food, and appreciation of open space that led Tyler Wren, a former professional cyclist, to organize the first Farm to Fork Fondo in Greenville on Sunday.
“It’s really important for us as cyclists to support the local farmers because not only do they make great food that makes us healthier people and better riders, they’re the ones who maintain the beautiful roads that we like to ride on,” he said at the event.
The Fondo, which means “ride” in Italian, started and ended at Cedar Lakes Estate in Greenville with stops along the way at farms in New Hampton, Pine Island, Westtown, and Otisville.
“Orange County is filled with beautiful country roads, beautiful farmland roads, but there’s also pockets that have been developed and they’ve lost some of the beautiful rides and they’re getting busier,” Wren said.
