The French and Pickering Creeks Conservation Trust is now accepting registrations for the 18th Annual French Creek Iron Tour will be held on June 14 beginning at the Kimberton Fire Company Fairgrounds in Phoenixville, Chester County.
Join over 1,000 riders for scenic cycling through Iron Furnace country and have a blast!
French and Pickering Creeks Conservation Trust preserves, protects and connects people to the land in northern Chester County where iron blast furnaces and forges served as cornerstones of industry in colonial Pennsylvania-- hence, “Iron Tour.”
When you ride in the Iron Tour, you have a direct impact on the preservation of the pristine countryside that surrounds you.
Since 1967, French & Pickering has protected over 12,850 acres in northern Chester County.
Introduced last year, the Gravel Grinder! This 70-mile ride includes the most scenic gravel roads and trails in the area. With courses ranging from 11 to 100 miles, there’s a ride for everyone!
