Folks on Spokes - Ride for Mental Health

Folks on Spokes is Bridges’ signature event which attracts hundreds of riders who participate to raise awareness, funds and support our friends, family and neighbors on their road to recovery.Cyclists of all levels enjoy the scenic, mapped routes around the Connecticut shoreline. 5, 10, 20, 40, 50 & 66-mile (Metric Century) and a 5K walk for non-cyclists. There are fully stocked rest stops along the route plus lunch when you return to Fowler Field. The benefits of exercise, having fun with friends and family and doing something good for your community are well known to promote mental wellness.

Folks on Spokes offers a unique opportunity for novice, seasoned and professional cyclists to join together and for a day of healthy activity and camaraderie and fun! Enjoy a post-ride or walk lunch courtesy of our good friends at Napoli Deli & Caterers and relax to the tunes of our own John Ciambriello www.ciambriello.com. Plus tunes and giveaways from the Star 99 Street Team!
