The 37th annual Bike-A-Thon fundraiser ride, happening this year on Sunday, September 8th! The Bike-A-Thon is Bikes Not Bombs largest fundraiser. The event brings together over 400 riders, and raises over $200,000 every year. Riders choose from one of five routes to ride, leave in the morning, and return in the afternoon for an afternoon of food, festivities, and a celebration of the wider bike community in Boston! The event supports BNB’s mission and work.

This event would not be possible without the work of an incredible group of volunteers. Our volunteer needs range from bike mechanics to greeting and directing riders to the event, handing out t-shirts, helping set-up and take-down the stage, chairs, and tables, or even staffing a rest stop outside of Boston along the ride route!

We’re looking for individuals or groups who would be interested in volunteering. Here is the website to sign up and learn more about the details of each shift and role. 

The Stow Conservation Trust is once again having its Bike for the Woods charity bike ride!

The ride is great for families and children as well as more “serious” riders, with well-marked routes of 5, 14, 37 and 65 miles. All routes are arrowed and there are GPS files for bike computers. All proceeds benefit the Stow Conservation Trust.

When: Sunday, August 11 at 9:00 a.m.

Where: starting at the Hartley Road entrance of Stow’s Center School at 403 Great Road. Parking will be available on both sides of the school, but the ride starts on the Hartley Road side. Enter “Hartley Road, Stow, MA” in your car’s GPS.

Cost: $25 per adult rider or $15 per child (with a $50 maximum per family) if you register early. Same day registration costs are $5 higher. 

Registration: online at BikeReg.com (search for “stow bike for the woods”) or at Bike For the Woods. 

Food (cider donuts and peaches among other goodies!) and drink are available at the start and at rest stops for the longer rides.

Come join the fun!

As one would expect, this IS the best time of the year for riding outside in New England and beyond.

With this in mind, the CRW-Devo group has lined up a series of EXTRAORDINARY rides that will certainly be the highlight of anyone's 2024 riding season. Check the final one out:

- Vermont 6 Gaps - 130 Miles - 12K ft Elevation - 08/03 - https://www.crw.org/event-5789110

Sign up for one or more of these rides. Let's have "fun" on the roads of New England and beyond, before old man Winter comes and confines us all to the trainer for the following four months.
