You can ride for Resilient Roots in this year’s Second Summer Cycle ride for charity slated for September 15. This exciting bicycling event cruises through 11 of the Cape's 15 towns to benefit more than 18 local nonprofits. 

Riders choose one of three routes, aimed at accommodating all levels of ability:

• 33 miles: Starting in Orleans at 10 am

• 69 miles: Starting in Sandwich at 8 am

• 100 miles: Starting in Mashpee at 6:30 am

All riders finish in Provincetown with a celebratory event that includes cold brews from Barnstable Brewing and $30 in tickets for each rider to use at four food trucks, included as part of the entry fee. Riders are expected to raise $250 each.

Biking enthusiasts are encouraged to register now, as the number of riders will be capped. The registration fee varies by ride length. When you register, you'll need these two details:

• For Fundraising Team, indicate Resilient Roots. (If you do not designate the team name this way, Resilient Roots will not receive the funds you raise!)

• For Fundraising Charity, choose Youth Athletic Foundation /Resilient Roots/ Real Eyes Truth Inc from the drop-down menu (the last option).

Resilient Roots is one of three nonprofits comprising one team (along with Youth Athletic Foundation and Real Truth Eyes, Inc.). Each team is expected to raise $5,000, and money raised by our riders will go directly to Resilient Roots.
