Third Annual Buzzards Bay Watershed Ride
Sunday, October 4
 
The Coalition for Buzzards Bay presents its third annual Watershed Ride on
Sunday, October 4. Last
year¹s Ride attracted 65 cyclists who raised over $35,000 to support the
Coalition¹s efforts to save
Buzzards Bay.
 
The 75-mile Watershed Ride begins at Horseneck Beach in Westport and ends at
Quissett Harbor in
Woods Hole. Cyclists are fully supported along the way with snacks and
refreshments at rest stops and
lunch at Rochester¹s Eastover Farms. They are also provided on-the-road
support by bike mechanics and
first aid whenever necessary. At the finish line, a celebration awaits, with
an abundance of food, drinks
and best of all, cheering fans.
 
The route is one of the region¹s best ­ known for its bucolic scenery, with
its winding roads that take
cyclists through coastal villages, past cranberry bogs, the New Bedford
waterfront, farmlands, and along
the back roads of Cape Cod. The Coalition times the event to take advantage
of the foliage and quiet
roads of early fall.
 
Online registration is open and will remain open until 5 p.m. October 1.
Each cyclist is required to raise a
minimum of $300 in addition to a $60 registration fee to participate.

Coalition for Buzzards Bay at 508-999-6363, ext. 209.
