Information
Bridging the Gap Ride is an annual cycling event hosted by Motherland Cycling Club (MCC), that aims to bring cyclists of diverse backgrounds and persuasions together for a fun and entertaining ride where participants get to experience different cultures, eat, laugh and dance afterwards--all while also supporting a local charity.
Who doesn't love hardware? All registrants crossing the finish line will recieve a finisher medal. The first 200 registrants will recieve an event T-shirt.
After ride entertainment will feature a DJ, food and raffle drawing. Get ready for a great time!
Bridging the Gap Ride #6 promises to be even more fun and exciting. We have added a complimentary second day of riding that is open to all registered participants for free! Please register early and share the word.
We look forward to seeing you. Let's bridge the gap!!
