Kick Off Passport France at Le Tour de Fort Worth May 9

Posted by Fort Worth CM, 04/20/2012

The Rhône-Alps have nothing on Fort Worth! On May 9, join Mayor Betsy Price and fellow cyclists and Francophiles for a ride around Fort Worth that ends with a fête of French food and drink on the Central Market Fort Worth patio. And it all benefits charity.

Come to Central Market Fort Worth before the ride begins at 5:30 pm to register and receive a wristband. You'll work up an appetite as you wind through Fort Worth's scenic neighborhoods and end the race at 7:30 pm back at CM Fort Worth for the kickoff of Passport France, our two-week celebration of French food and culture.
 
Satisfy your craving for French fare with loaded crêpes, baguette sandwiches, beer, and wine—all for only $1 each when you show your wristband. You can also get your photo snapped with the mayor while enjoying live music. Proceeds benefit Fort Worth charity Healthy Babies • Healthy Moms • Healthy Community.
 
But you don’t have to ride to party. Starting at 7 pm, everyone is welcome to enjoy regularly priced drinks and French specialties. Need more info? You can find it here, or contact the mayor's assistant, Keome Rowe, at 817-392-6121 or keome.rowe@fortworthtexas.gov.

Is the Ride with the Mayor still on for this afternoon? I will be driving in from Forney to ride and enjoy good Healthy Food. I want to see how we can help make Forney, where I live a more cycling friendly place to ride. Thanks to Melissa Newton, Channel 11 for making me aware of the event.

Just trying to find out how to register and/or how much a wrist band cost to join the event on May 9th. I cannot find out anything from the website.
