MassBike Spins Ride Series

Bicycle rentals are available for all MassBike Spins - Boston rides from Urban Adventours.

The 2009 Mass BikePike Tour: August 6-9, 2009
After riding the same routes for the past two year's we are back with all new routes. We still have 3 choices of ride distance each day (30,50, and 65) and for those who want a challenge, the longer routes offer just that. The tour will start and end in Amherst with overnight stays in Warren, Paxton and Athol. The food is great. The people are great. And the scenery is spectacular. And to make things just a little sweeter, MassBike members and friends get a $25 discount through March. Just enter MassBike in the coupon code on the registration form. And remember, proceeds go to support MassBike.

For more information, go to www.MassBikePike.org or contact Bruce Lederer at bruce@massbikepike.org or call 617 710-1832.

Emmaus Cycle for Shelter: Sunday, July 26, 2009
The 21st annual Cycle for Shelter will take place on Sunday, July 26, 2009 at Northern Essex Community College in Haverhill, MA. The ride benefits Emmaus Inc. a non-profit that has been providing shelter, services and affordable housing to homeless men, women and children since 1985.

Cycle for Shelter has been ranked one of the top rides in the United States by Bicycling Magazine.

Emmaus is recognized as a model for providing long term solutions to homelessness. 90 cents of every dollar goes directly to the programs. In the current economic situation more people are becoming homeless. Funds raised this year will help Emmaus increase the number of shelter spaces for families with no where else to turn.
