About The Ride
On July 31st, 2009, B2B will host its annual 120-mile Bike to the Beach, charity bike ride, from Washington DC to Bethany Beach DE. The routes will take members from Gonzaga College High School in downtown DC, over the hilly back roads to Annapolis and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. After a short bus ride, over the bridge the riders will re-mount their bicycles for a ride on route 404 that will take them past farms, through small towns of Eastern Maryland, and across the state of Delaware. The ride will terminate at the Bethany Beach, DE boardwalk, where riders will be met by a welcoming party.
All proceeds from the charity ride will be donated to our non-profit partner Autism Speaks (A.S.), a 501(c)3 nonprofit that is the world's largest autism advocacy organization (EIN 20-2329938).
Over the years, the annual B2B Century Ride has grown in size and notoriety. Our members and each rider who has completed the ride has become a biking enthusiasts committed to encouraging the use of bicycles for many reasons including promoting public service.
In 2008, the B2B Century Ride united hundreds of people and raised over $125,000 for A.S. This year, we hope to raise over $200,000 to help Autism Speaks make a difference in the lives of the estimated 1.5 million Americans affected by Autism.
We hope to see you all back and ready to tackle the challenge with us again in 2009!
