15th Annual Harbor To The Bay Bike Ride

Good time, good fun, good cause!

The 15th annual Harbor to the Bay bike ride is coming up September 23, 2017! This annual fundraiser benefits four AIDS-focused organizations in the Massachusetts area: Community Research Initiative (CRI), AIDS Action Committee, Fenway Health, and the AIDS Support Group of Cape Cod.
Riders can choose to take the 125-mile adventure from Boston to Provincetown, or to start from the Sagamore Bridge for the 68-mile abridged route. Because the planning and management of the event are all conducted by volunteers, 100 percent of proceeds donated to Harbor to the Bay and its riders will go to charity. If you’re not interested in riding but still want to help, we are always looking for crew members to assist in handing out water, giving directions or helping repair bikes along the ride route.
Some groups are offering special incentives to join their fundraising team. For example, if you sign up to ride or crew for CRI before June 15, you will be entered to win a free XX2i Optics and Running and Cycling Enterprises (RACE) gift bag, including a pair of XX2i sunglasses, an XX2i/RACE shirt, an XX2i hat, and a gift certificate for an additional pair of glasses — a total retail value of $225.
Over the past 14 rides, CRI riders, crew members, donors, supporters, and volunteers have raised over $1 million for HIV/AIDS research, prevention, and care — and we hope with your help this year, we’ll honor the 15th ride with our largest fundraising effort to date.
If you’d like more information about becoming a rider or crew member, or to make a donation, please visit www.harbortothebay.org. You can also call or email Libby Mullen, CRI’s Development and Communications Manager, at 617-502-1726 or [email protected]. See you in P-Town!

Cranks Giving!

From the F-book:

————–

Saturday, November 22 at 1:00pm in EST
Copley Square
Copley Sq, Boston, Massachusetts 02116

First annual Cranksgiving Boston bike ride! Bring a bike, a bag, and a lock. This event is FREE but you’ll need about $15 to buy food to donate to The Greater Boston Food Bank and the Somerville Homeless Coalition.

Part scavenger hunt, part food drive, and part bike ride. As a grass roots event, Cranksgiving allows the Boston cycling community to give back to the neighborhoods we ride in and the city we love.

Navigate the streets of the Greater Boston area and the aisles of grocery stores searching for specific food items. Once you’ve found them and made your way through the checkout lines to the finish line, all of your food will be donated to the Greater Boston Food Bank and the Somerville Homeless Coalition.

Registration begins at 1pm in Copley Square in front of Trinity Church. The ride begins at 2pm. The afterparty will be held at Aeronaut Brewing Company in Somerville. It’s gonna be awesome!

Beakaway Cycle Kids Charity Ride

I don’t usually list “for profit” rides, but this one sounds fun, and you can ride it without fundraising if you like.

—————–

Bikes Can Beat Childhood Obesity – Join the CYCLE Kids Breakaway Charity Ride on May 20th

· Choose from a hilly 62-mile metric century (perfect for an early season challenge), a scenic 36-mile route, or a fun 5-mile family ride to nearby Codman Farm.

· After the ride, enjoy live music, lawn games, and a gourmet lunch under a tent at the beautiful deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in Lincoln, MA.

· Acclaimed Chef Paul O’Connell of Chez Henri will be grilling a fresh, savory lunch on site – we’ll bet this is the best you’ll ever eat at a charity ride.

· You decide whether to fundraise or not, depending on which registration fee you choose – it’s up to you!

Celebrate Bike Week 2012 in a meaningful way – give the gift of bicycling to the next generation of CYCLE Kids!

Beyond The Bike 2011 Ride

Got this in the email, looks pretty awesome.

——————-

Join us for Beyond the Bike 2011, the signature fundraising event of Beyond the 11th – a foundation dedicated to imparting the widows of Afghanistan with entrepreneurial skills they need to lift themselves out of poverty and oppression. Beyond the Bike 2011 will mark the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, when co-founder Susan Retik’s husband was killed on the first plane to hit the World Trade Center. We will ride in honor of all the victims and rescuers who lost their lives that day. But we will also ride in celebration of the countless acts of courage and humanity that have marked the decade since.

There are lots of ways to get involved. You can register to cycle in one of two exhilarating rides: 3-day Founders Ride from Ground Zero in New York to Boston, 25 mile Celebration Ride to the finish or you can fundraise as a “virtual rider” without ever donning a stitch of spandex. Both Rides will end together at the Hatch Shell in Boston on the Charles River. Cost: $175 registration fee (covers cost of hotel rooms, meals, support, bike jersey, etc. from 9/9 – 9/11) for the Founders Ride from Ground Zero – Boston and Fundraising Commitment is $4,000; $25 registration fee for the Commemoration Ride and Fundraising Commitment is $250.

Rapha Charity Ride For Japan At Ride Studio Cafe

Details from Ride Studio Cafe

This Sunday, March 20 at 10:00 am

Join the Ride Studio Cafe in a local Rapha ride as part of a series of worldwide charity rides to help the victims of recent disasters in Japan. For the Studio’s part, we’re leading a ride from the store.

Rapha asks that you make a minimum donation of $10 to ride with us.  Rapha will match your donation.  The Studio will also match your donation.  Your $10 raises $30.  If you’d like the Studio to match your donation, please bring your donation to the Studio on Sunday.

We have a cue sheet so no one will get lost.   We also have a sweeper so everyone will be able to make it back home no matter what.

It is going to be a beautifully routed ride; you won’t want to miss it.

After the ride we’ll post a ride report–for those that live vicariously–and list everyone that donated.  Help represent New England in this charity for Tohoku!

Please RSVP.

Here are the details
