Casual and avid cyclists alike are invited to participate in ‘Will Bike 4 Food,’ a charity bike ride featuring 10, 25, 50, and 100 mile rides. The Food Bank has been working closely with local cycling experts to determine the most interesting and challenging routes for every level. (Click here for route maps and descriptions!)
Participants may compete in teams or as individuals, and will raise dollars for The Food Bank by collecting donations from friends, family members, and co-workers.
Your registration fee and fundraising efforts will benefit The Food Bank’s mission to reduce hunger and increase food security in Western Mass.! For every $1 you raise, we can distribute $9 worth of food.
Starting from The Food Bank’s headquarters in Hatfield, cyclists will experience beautiful Pioneer Valley in early Fall, one of the best times of the year to experience Western Massachusetts. The scenic routes will take advantage of the area’s natural beauty and quiet back roads.
