The valley’s farm stands are showcasing their wares. Integrating them into a ride is a fine thing to do in the coming weeks. Just bring some dollar bills and packs to bring home the bounty.

The tomato is the queen of the harvest. From a burly beefsteak to the honored heirloom and compact cherry, tomatoes are a ubiquitous staple in many a cyclists diet. Comprised of antioxidants like lycopene, the bicycle-friendly website livestrong.com reports the tomato can help reduce cholesterol and prevent diseases like osteoporosis, cancer and Type 2 diabetes.
