WELCOME TO THE TOUR DES TREES: TIRES, TREES, AND TAHOE!

Join us for the 2023 Tour des Trees as we cycle through Nevada, past beautiful Lake Tahoe, and into Californias redwood country, promoting and teaching people about proper tree care and the importance of tree research.

The Tour des Trees is a multiday, supported bike tour. Tour des Trees riders will spend up to five days riding from Reno, Nevada area, past Lake Tahoe, and into Northern California, engaging with communities and raising funds for TREE Fund.

Riders can choose one, two, three, four, or five -day ride options and will raise funds for each day they ride. The total mileage over the five days totals over 380 miles!

In addition to riding and having fun on their bikes, riders will also be ambassadors for the TREE Fund and for tree science; stopping at various spots along the way and spreading the word about the importance of trees and tree care.

After registering, all riders will create an online fundraising page to help them towards their fundraising goal. Riders will also be able to reserve a custom bike jersey and other gear which will make them the envy of their cycling friends. Hotels and meals are provided, as well as sag support along the route.
