Bike MS: Ride the Rhode this Weekend

SOUTH COUNTY, RI—Hundreds of bicyclists will take part in a 150-mile bike ride through southern Rhode Island to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society this weekend.

People can still register to ride along with other cyclists embarking on 35-, 75- or 100-mile routes that begin at the Keaney Gym at the University of Rhode Island on Saturday morning and ends at URI with a food and beer garden awaits. After an overnight camp, most riders go on a different 75 mile route to complete their journey.

The ride is organized by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society with a goal of raising $530,000 to help people with multiple sclerosis.

During the weekend, cyclists will ride through the following towns:

• Charlestown
• Coventry
• Exeter
• Hope Valley
• Hopkinton
• Narragansett
• North Kingstown
• Richmond
• South Kingstown
• Westerly

For those who want to ride but have not yet registered, on-site registration will be held two hours before the 7:30 a.m. mass start on Saturday. The fundraising minimum is $300, which is due on or before the day of the ride. You must be 14 years old to participate.
