Due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak, and after much consideration, it is with great regret to announce that the Tour-de-Forest Committee has made the decision to cancel the Fall 2020 ATV Ride. The timing of the uncertainty surrounding the outbreak has contributed to significant challenges in planning this event as many changes to the venue would need to be made.

In addition to creating challenges in the planning of the event, even though Pennsylvania has entered the “Green Phase” we are still prohibited to have an event larger than 250 attendees including staff. With this limit and the fact that eliminating all concession, vendors, and checkpoints it would greatly diminish the events experience for volunteers, attendees and their families. In addition to these risks, the risk of a failed Tour-de-Forest might jeopardize the Committee’s ability to host future events.

Contributed article on poker runs (Image source: Pexels) Poker runs are a growing craze in the motorcycle community, as they provide an opportunity for camaraderie and competition. They allow bikers to traverse routes they may not have considered going on in the past, and also act as a great way to raise money for charity.

With all these factors in mind, the Committee made the decision to cancel the Fall 2020 Tour-de-Forest. We thank you in advance for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing you at both the 2021 Tour-de-Forest’s on May 22nd – 23rd and October 2nd – 3rd, 2021.

Thank You,
