| Create a team to take on the 2019 Watershed Ride! |
Thinking of biking 35, 75, or 100 miles with us at the 2019 Watershed Ride on October 6? One of the best ways to experience this incredible course is to ride it as a team! Creating a team can help keep you motivated during training, and maximize the fun of biking around the Bay you love.
What's more, fundraising as a team can double or triple your impact for the Bay. Take the Bourne Rail Trail Blazers: together, they raised an astonishing $21,349 for the 2018 Ride while promoting awareness of a proposed bike path through Bourne. "The truth is, the fundraising has been easy, because everyone who has been lucky enough to experience life alongside and in Buzzards Bay appreciates the critical work the Coalition is doing," said team captain and six-time rider Ken Cheitlin.
Join Ken and the Bourne Rail Trail Blazers to ride for clean water again this year — register or start your own team today!
