The Butter Tart Cycle Trail 2023
Get active, support local, and eat delicious butter tarts! The 2023 Butter Tart Cycle Trail took place September 9 & 10 from 8am to 5pm. The Ontario's Best Butter Tart inspired cycling trail was throughout North Simcoe and was in partnership with the County of Simcoe and Cycle Simcoe. Using the map, cyclists biked along the route to the locations selling butter tarts and butter tart inspired items such as scones, milkshakes and other delicious creations!
If you tagged both @cyclesimcoe and @buttertartfestival in an Instagram photo and made sure to show your butter tart item at your favourite butter tart location in Simcoe County, cyclists had the chance to win an 'I Love Bikes and Butter Tarts' t-shirt!
The Butter Tart Cycle Trail was a choose your own adventure style – ride part of the trail or the whole thing! There was no registration, participants could start and end whenever and wherever they chose.

Please note that the route is a mix of on-road, gravel, and trail. These roads are not closed for the event. Please follow the rules of the road and cycle safely.
