Le Tour de Fort 2021

We welcome returning and new Riders to the 12th annual Le Tour de Fort! (The 2020 LTdF events did not take place for reasons that should be obvious to all)

For the LTDF 2021, we will be following guidelines set forth by the city of Fort Wayne regarding gathering in public spaces. Please note that individual establishments (Tour Friendly Locations) may have additional precautions or measures in place such as limits to occupancy and the wearing of masks or facial coverings. We ask that ALL Riders respect these regulations and work with us to make sure we can have a smooth event. Your individual safety is always our utmost concern, but with the Covid situation we want to be especially cautions of our impact on Tour Friendly Locations and the greater community.

Please note, the Tour Friendly Locations for this 2021 event will be a combination of the Downtown and 'Roots' Tours. The list will be updated as we get closer to the event, so be sure to continue checking for updates.

Our bicycle pub-crawl allows adults to drink responsibly for a good cause. With our 2019 events, we completed our mission of replacing the fleet of vehicles driven by the volunteers of the Disabled American Veterans chapter #40. Those volunteers are now transporting military Veterans to medical appointments at Veterans Affairs (VA) medical facilities throughout the region in the comfort of 2019 and 2020 year Ford vehicles. For those of you Riders that have participated in any of our events over the past 3 years, thank you very much for helping us accomplish that mission!

Le Tour de Fort is not a race, contest or competition. This is a social event. Our mission is to support Veterans, strengthen our community and bring people together for an awesome time. In addition to our continued support of military Veterans, this event and our Riders support the downtown community and Broadway corridor of Fort Wayne. Our 'Tour Friendly Locations' are locally owned establishments that serve our Riders throughout the event, help with our mission of supporting Veterans and are a crucial component of the Tour. Our Riders provide the best day of annual business for some locations. For others, their best day ever!

This year, we have pledged to support to the Honor Flight of Northeast Indiana and the Veterans National Memorial and Shrine located at 2122 O Day Rd, Fort Wayne, IN 46818.

Thank you for your support!

Registration for the event will be online only from May 1st through August 20th at 11:59 pm. **PLEASE NOTE**

***Only Riders that place their ticket orders prior to August 1st will receive shirts for this event. Riders that purchase tickets after August 1st at 11:59 pm EST will only have the option to purchase a 'Shirtless Ticket' and will NOT receive a LTdF 2021 shirt for this event. Those riders will instead be able to choose from our vintage stock of event shirts. Color, size and availability are not guaranteed. WHY? Because we run a tight ship here at Le Tour de Fort! We are not in the business of ordering shirts based on projections. Please place your order in a timely manner if you wish to receive an event shirt.
