The Tour de Delaware requires determination and perseverance. And if the road is flooded, it doesn’t matter if you’re the Governor of Delaware: you still have to do what it takes.

Dear Fellow riders:

It’s that time again!

Mark your calendar for Governor Jack Markell’s 9th Annual “Tour de Delaware” on Sunday, November 8, 2015 starting at 8:00 a.m. (Note date change due to Hurricane Joaquin.)

This year the route will be a ~50ish mile loop, with the start/end and exact route still being considered.

If you would like to ride with Governor Markell on this year’s Tour, please RSVP by emailing Corey at Corey.Marshall-Steele@state.de.us. Once you’ve RSVP’d, Corey will be sending out more details as the date approaches.

We hope that you will be able to join us for another terrific day!
