About the Ride:
Tim is riding to raise funds and awareness for the Bikes Belong Foundation. He is pedaling almost 500 miles from Boston to Washington DC, the site of the National Bike Summit, in five days.
Starting Friday, March 4, Tim will be joined by long time cycling journalist, advocate, promoter and announcer Richard Fries, and a handful of other leaders of American bike culture. Leaving from Boston, they will ride every day, hitting Providence, Hartford, New York City, Trenton, Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore, until they reach Washington DC on Tuesday, March 8, for the start of the National Bike Summit.
The ride is open, and riders can register for specific legs of the journey on bikereg.com.
