Dear AdventuRiders,
For those of you who went on the "Gale Force Ride" yesterday, and anybody else who enjoys riding past beautiful coastal scenery and history, here are a couple more opportunities.
Seacoast Tour de Forts, Sunday, May 16, 2010
Bike, walk, and talk along the waterfront
Everyone knows about the fundraiser bike rides, challenges, and tours along the New Hampshire and Maine seacoasts, but do you know what you are passing? Do you wish to pedal less, see more, and learn a lot about the waterfront? How about a leisurely and supported 18 mile bike ride with time to walk around inside the forts and have someone explain some interesting history of the Portsmouth Harbor area?
This first annual "Seacoast Tour de Forts" is aimed at families and casual cyclists - or cyclists who care to stop drafting and shift down from their 104" gear. Cycling speed and endurance are not expected, nor pledge sheets or huge registration fees. Just bring a well-maintained bike, wear a helmet, take some water and a snack, and enjoy this unique tour for just $25.00 per cyclist. Children in trailers, baby seats, and Tag-Alongs are free. Proceeds are to benefit the Bike-Walk Alliance of NH and Great Bay Services of Newington NH. (Details below.)
To register on-line, please visit the BWA-NH web site www.BWANH.org. Walk-ins are welcome but on-line registration may be easier for everyone.
