In two upcoming events, show your support for the South Coast Bikeway by riding the Pedal for the Path on Sunday, September 8, and Team South Coast Bikeway rides for clean water and a completed South Coast Bikeway in the Buzzards Bay Watershed Ride on Sunday, October 6.
The South Coast Bikeway Alliance’s 6th Annual Pedal for the Path ride is a cycling tour of the South Coast with beautiful views, quiet roads, ice cream and lots of fun. The Pedal for the Path (PFTP) returns to Running Brook Vineyard to celebrate recent progress along the South Coast Bikeway, the Northern Scenic Greenway project to connect Fall River to New Bedford with pathways through Westport and Dartmouth, following the newly established 35-mile Dartmouth Heritage Trail bicycle route. New this year, registration is free, but donations are welcome. Visit SouthCoastBikeway.com.
The South Coast Bikeway team will participate in the Watershed Ride to support the Buzzards Bay Coalition’s efforts for clean water in Buzzards Bay. Four MassTrails Grants were awarded for projects along the South Coast Bikeway in Westport, Mattapoisett, Marion and Wareham. The Watershed Ride finish line is located at the Swope Center in Woods Hole and the public is invited to come cheer us on from 3:00 to 6:00 pm.
The SCBA has been permitted to “piggyback” on fundraising with matching donors. In 2023, we raised over $21,800 for clean water and $6,000 for the South Coast Bikeway. In the last eight years, the team has raised over $47,000 for the Buzzards Bay Coalition. Use code SAVE20 for $20 off registration by August 31.
