The Upstate Green Cycling Tour.

Ok, so I have heard a lot of things, a lot of advice about what to do and how to do it.  The interesting thing is that a lot of these comments have been about places OUTSIDE of Clemson.  I have been invited to Greenville, Furman, and been told about the amzing things going on in Spartanburg and Traveler's Rest and Asheville.  There is a lot to do and the beauty of society today, with social media and all of the means of connection at our disposal, I do not HAVE to be in Clemson to get these things done. 

So, I will be taking advantage of the cooling weather and hopping on the bike for points north.  I have heard great things about Greenville and I hope to stop at HubCity Co-op in Spartanburg, Swamp Rabbit Cafe in Greenville, and Leopard Forest Coffee in Travelers Rest. 

It is amazing that we are not the first to have this idea.   It is a growing movement all over the country and in places like the Upstate because the farms are RIGHT HERE!!!  Think about the number of farms you pass on the way to other places only to see that they get their produce from halfway around the world.

We are coming to our senses and realizing there is a better, more sensible way to get our food and support our local economy!

Follow along, contribute, and remember, our success is based on your support!
