Event: 1st Annual Bosque Tour de Norway

Route Distances: 20, 40 and 80 miles

About the Ride: The first annual Bosque Tour de Norway will be on May 12, 2012.  The  start/finish line will be at the Clifton High School.  We have 3 routes to choose  from, 20, 40 and 80 miles.  Each will allow you to enjoy the beauty of the top    of Texas hill country.  You will also be riding through the historical Norse community. The Norwegian settlement began here in 1854, the same year the  county was founded, and was led by Ole Canuteson and included Cleng Peerson,  “The Father of Norwegian Immigration to America.” Thousands of Norwegian   immigrants, some coming directly from Norway and others from northern states,  would eventually settle between Clifton and Cranfills Gap by century’s end. The Norwegian influence in the area is still very evident today, including Our  Saviors Lutheran Church, site of our first rest stop, and St. Olaf Kirke, or as it     is better-known, The Old Rock Church.

Location: Clifton High School, Clifton, Texas, United States
