Tour de Dufflet FAQ: You will visit your start-off location only once to register and receive your first stamp; you may tour the 3 locations in any order that suits you.

We will offer refreshments to registered participants at all locations. To drink, you will have your choice of bottled water or regular coffee. To nibble, you will have a choice from that day’s brownies or something savoury (a spanokopita or samosa). Daily selections will vary.

At the final location (stamp #3) you will hand in your stamped passport to be eligible for the grand prize drawing at the end of bike month, plus you will receive a gift certificate for $5 off your next Dufflet purchase as a reward for completing the Tour de Dufflet 2011!
