Pack some cold drinks, snacks or a picnic lunch if you are not going to be riding all day... A change of clothes, jacket for later & lawn chair for after the ride is recommended. Hang out and enjoy the Upper Bay Celebration and learning activities as you wait for the rest of your frinds to roll in... If you are going out in a canoe or kayak, or just want to even out your biker tan, you might want to bring a bathing suit & towel as well! |
(Educational experience sessions & Dinner require Pre-registration & BCI Membership) The BCI has partnered with the Back Bay Science Center at Shellmaker Island to make this event a very special experience. For those volunteers who are helping put on the ride, but not actually riding, there will be an opprtunity to do service projects & some clean up work while the rides are underway. As riders return, they will be able to check out the local plants and animals, including birding walks, shark touching, canoe or kayak tours of the unique wetlands - and fully enjoy the first Saturday of summer. Sign-ups will be taken for various activities and volunteers from the Back Bay Science Center will help educate everyone on the special and fragile environment we pass by and enjoy on so many of our rides. Monday was the Day... If you are sending $, or it is "in the mail" Call or - email Bill! Excess proceeds will be shared in support of programs offered at the Back Bay Science Center... |
The Rides will, as always for the BCI Saturday Rides, be free; A cash donation ($5 suggested) will be accepted from any riders who make it far enough to enjoy some of the traditional fresh fruit, chocolate dipped berries & munchies at the remote portable feast SAG stop! Riders are on their own for brunch & coffee stops... The $20 fee goes to provide the groceries & supplies for the dinner, and raise funds to support the BCI and fund a grant to the Back Bay Science Center...
