Bishops Orchard

Let’s run it back! On Sunday, December 1, 2024, the Orchard Scorcher returns—because if we aren’t racing for pies, are we really even racing? Bishops Orchards, True Cyclery, and the NHBC are excited to present this year’s event at an all-new venue, twisting and turning through the picturesque blueberry orchard at 480 New England Rd., Guilford, CT.

This unique course promises a fresh challenge for racers, set against the backdrop of a family-owned farm with deep roots in the Guilford community. Established in 1871, Bishops Orchards has grown from a general farm to a beloved community hub featuring a bakery, CSA, and winery. Now run by the seventh generation of the Bishop family, the farm continues to give back to the community, and they’re thrilled to host this exciting cyclocross event.

Join us for a day of thrilling racing, community spirit, and, of course, delicious pies. We can’t wait to see you there!
