Women and girls of all ages and abilities
are invited to join this non-competitive cycling event.

On Sunday, June 23, 2013, the first East Coast event, Cycle the WAVE Massachusetts, will start and end at historic Marathon Park, Pleasant St., Ashland. All proceeds will benefit the local non-profit, Web of Benefit, Inc. This cycling event is an all-women, non-competitive ride, not a race, and there is no fundraising requirement. Women riders of all ages and abilities can sign up for the “Little Sister” (about 25 miles), or the “Big Sister” (about 50 miles). Beginning at the original Boston Marathon starting line, and winding through several beautiful MetroWest towns, the cycling event will include surprises and treats along the way, and a celebration party at the end.

All proceeds from this event will go directly to its proud sponsor, Web of Benefit. Web of Benefit promotes liberation from domestic violence and has given more than 1,100 Self-Sufficiency Grants to women in the Greater Boston and MetroWest area. Each woman “pays it forward” by performing good works for other women impacted by domestic violence.

This year is the 11^th annual Mt. Washington Century ride, and we aren’t celebrating alone! Over 350 people will join the Mt. Washington Century ride on July 14^th, cyclists and volunteers alike. The Century is completely supported with five aid stations along the 100-mile course (three on the 80-mile and two on the 40-mile), support vehicles with ham radio operators, two on-duty EMTs, and a bike repair support van (Red Jersey Cyclery).

The 100-mile route around Mt. Washington passes through Bear Notch, climbs up Crawford Notch and Jefferson Notch and over Pinkham Notch. A Mt. Washington Century cyclist reaches maximum elevation gains of 2034 ft. with ascent/decent of 4875ft; not bad for a day’s ride.
