B2B2P – 2011

bringing local foods to local families

What is B2B2P?

B2B2P–2010 raised $2200 which allowed us to purchase 4 CSA shares from local farms. Shares this year will be distributed to Operation Bootstrap, St. Vincent's, and The Lincoln Center to help low-income families. Our goal is to make this an annual charity ride held every spring. Join us to make a difference!

This ride is a major fundraising event, and we ask that each rider set a pledge goal of $25 to $50. Riders pledging at least $50 by noon, September 19 will receive a Bike to Barn to Plate tote bag

Our goal for this ride is $4500 so we can double the number of CSA shares purchased.

The Day of the Ride

There will be a long ride that incorporates a visit to Malek Farm. Our long route map has the course for the long ride; our short route map has our short route information..

Every rider will be required to have submitted a signed waiver and wear a helmet during the ride.

This is a ride, not a race, but it is recommended that you are still prepared by being in good health and in proper physical condition. Bicycling is a potentially hazardous activity and injuries can occur from accidents, negligence or carelessness. Please pay careful attention to the weather, traffic, fellow riders and conditions of the road. Please check the condition of your bike and consider a tune-up. Support riders will be placed along the route. If possible, bring a cell-phone and a road repair kit with you.

*This ride will be held rain or shine.

What Else Can I Do to Help?

If you are unable to ride, consider volunteering time, sponsoring a rider, or making a donation to the B2B2P cause! Volunteers will be invited to join us for the Celebratory Picnic after the ride.

Contact Mark Hayes with any questions or concerns.
