Calling All Mansfield Cyclists

The following is from a press release.

It’s time for the 7th annual Hub On Wheels – Boston’s only citywide bike ride and festival with thousands of riders expected in attendance this year.  Ride down a car free Storrow Drive and explore the shoreline, neighborhoods and the communities we call home.  With 10, 30 and 50 mile rides available, anyone can participate!  Participants will roll out of City Hall Plaza at 8 a.m., head down Storrow Drive and then pedal through the Arnold Arboretum, Franklin Park, West Roxbury, the Emerald Necklace, Jamaica Pond and beyond. 

Following the ride, participants can watch the excitement of Boston’s 3rd annual TD Bank Mayor’s Cup Pro Race. Some of the top men and women racers will be competing for a $20,000 cash purse while winding through the streets of downtown Boston up to 40 miles per hour!

The fun doesn’t stop there– the Boloco Block Party will be in full swing all day long on City Hall Plaza.  This big bike festival includes great food, free concert, bike stunt shows and more.  Don’t miss out on one of the East Coast’s largest celebrations of cycling!

A portion of the proceeds from Hub On Wheels will benefit Technology Goes Home. Technology Goes Home provides technology, training, and internet access to underserved populations in Boston.
