Tour de Lyme 2026

Tour de Lyme returns on Sunday, May 31, 2026, inviting cyclists of all skill levels to experience the stunning landscapes of Lyme while supporting the important conservation work of the Lyme Land Trust. This year’s annual fundraising ride will begin at the beautiful Grassy Hill Preserve and features exciting new road and mountain bike routes designed to showcase some of the region’s most scenic and challenging terrain.

Road cyclists can choose from five route options ranging from the family-friendly 6.45-mile Family Ride to the demanding 66-mile Challenge route, complete with added elevation and breathtaking countryside views. Mountain bikers will explore the incredible Lyme Corner Trails and areas adjacent to Nehantic State Forest, with routes highlighting wooded trails, rolling terrain, and technical sections for adventurous riders.

Following the ride, participants are invited to relax and refuel at Tour de Lyme’s beloved post-ride picnic, a favorite tradition that brings riders and the community together after a memorable day outdoors.
