The Tour de Tribury is sponsored by area churches and synagogues through the Southbury Interfaith Social Concerns Committee, as well as the Greater Waterbury Cycling Club.

All routes start and finish at Sacred Heart Church, off exit 14 on I-84. The first 125 entrants receive a Tour de Tribury  T-shirt. Call 264-9225 for more information.
