It's a Beautiful Day for a Bike Ride! Head to Wilton Loop of Norwalk River Valley Trail Today and Cheer Mitch Ancona On!

The Norwalk River Valley Trail (NRVT) introduces the DIY DK100 Mitch Ancona Ride.

Support Mitch and NRVT HERE.

On Saturday, Sept 12th, Mitch Ancona, owner of Ancona’s Wines and Liquors, will ride an epic 100 miles on the NRVT to showcase the trail and raise funds to build more miles. Mitch will be riding the East Loop of the Wilton NRVT which is about 2 miles long. Starting at the Wilton Twin Oaks parking lot, Mitch will be riding his single speed bike back and forth and back and forth…. many times!

Mitch Ancona is the owner of Ancona Wines (Ridgefield and Wilton), a longtime supporter of the NRVT and is ready to build more trail. Mitch rides “not for a living, but to live.” He supports the NRVT, “so others can have a safe place to ride a bike or walk.”

How you can help!

Support Mitch with a donation to “NRVT-Trail .COM”, come ride some of the trail with him, or come cheer him on. Mitch will be on the NRVT trail from 8am until completing 100 miles. Bring your cowbells, “Go Mitch!” signs, and clap and whistle him down the NRVT East Loop trail. He will be appreciative and so will the NRVT! And please make sure that you observe social distancing on the NRVT.

During the Coronavirus crisis, the NRVT had trail use spike by over 260%. The NRVT has 8 miles of completed trail and 22 more miles to build. All proceeds from this event help build more community- friendly multipurpose trail
