year’s Ride attracted 65 cyclists who raised over $35,000 to support the Coalition’s efforts to save<BR>
Buzzards Bay.<BR>
<BR>
The 75-mile Watershed Ride begins at Horseneck Beach in Westport and ends at Quissett Harbor in<BR>
Woods Hole. Cyclists are fully supported along the way with snacks and refreshments at rest stops and<BR>
lunch at Rochester’s Eastover Farms. They are also provided on-the-road support by bike mechanics and<BR>
first aid whenever necessary. At the finish line, a celebration awaits, with an abundance of food, drinks<BR>
and best of all, cheering fans.<BR>
<BR>
The route is one of the region’s best – known for its bucolic scenery, with its winding roads that take<BR>
cyclists through coastal villages, past cranberry bogs, the New Bedford waterfront, farmlands, and along<BR>
the back roads of Cape Cod. The Coalition times the event to take advantage of the foliage and quiet<BR>
roads of early fall.<BR>
<BR>
Online registration is open and will remain open until 5 p.m. October 1. Each cyclist is required to raise a<BR>
minimum of $300 in addition to a $60 registration fee to participate.<BR>
<BR>
