For Pete's Sake Ride 2025
Join us on September 21st to Ride For Pete's Sake. This is a fundraiser ride to celebrate and honor the life of Peter Del Sette, Jr. who loved riding the North Shore and throughout MA, in support of worthy causes that he helped with every pedal stroke.
Sadly, Peter was killed in a bike crash on September 12, 2020 while on a charity ride, and MassBike has worked with Peter's friends and family to establish a fund to support safer biking throughout the state. For Pete's Sake Ride will benefit MassBike’s roadway safety advocacy efforts in Peter's memory. If you are not riding, we appreciate your support of the fund, follow this link to donate online or send a check made payable to MassBike with “Peter Del Sette Jr” in the memo to MassBike, 50 Milk Street, 16th Floor, Boston, MA 02109.
Thank you to our sponsors Eastern Bank and Beverly Bike Committee for supporting this event!
