The Coalition for Buzzards Bay is excited to announce the Second Annual Watershed Ride. Last year’s inaugural Ride, which drew 41 adventurous cyclists, raised more than $23,000 to support the programs of the Coalition.
Cyclists will begin at Horseneck Beach in Westport and pedal 75 miles through farmland, coastal villages, New Bedford’s waterfront, cranberry bogs and along the back roads of Cape Cod. The event will culminate in a celebration at the Finish Line at the Quissett Harbor House in Quissett with food, drinks and music.
The Ride is a fully-supported event with rest stops, lunch at Eastover Farms in Rochester, on-the-road bike mechanics and first aid. Limited transportation from Woods Hole to Horseneck Beach will be available.
Online registration is open and early registrants can reserve a limited edition Watershed Ride jersey. Each cyclist is required to raise a minimum of $300 in addition to a $60 registration fee to participate in the Ride.
To help cyclists with their fundraising, the Coalition will host a free seminar on Wednesday, September 10 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. called, “Fear of Fundraising: How to Raise Money in a Lousy Economy.” Those interested should reserve a spot by September 8 by e-mailing Donna Cobert or calling 508-999-6363 ext. 209.
