Ride for Newton's Food Pantries

For the last eight years The Tour de Newton has gathered together hundreds of bike riders on Father’s Day for a fun-filled, large scale bicycle event. For the first six years it was a 13 village, 20+ mile tour of Newton. In 2019 the event was re-designed into a Magical Mystery Tour de Newton – surprise filled routes with all riders converging on City Hall together.

This year, we’ve re-designed the Tour de Newton in light of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic. Instead of a large-scale event, we’ve designed a tour that can be ridden on your own or with members of your household.  Bike Newton has put together a set of routes, including some classic tour routes, with something for every level of rider.

We're asking for a suggested donation of $5 per rider. Once you donate, you'll get an email with a link to the routes. Ride one or more of the routes sometime between June 22 – July 5, and sign up your family, friends, or neighbors to sponsor your ride – with all proceeds to go to the three Newton Food pantries – who need all our help due to the unprecedented demand in these difficult times.

Ride with your family…Ride by yourself…ride for fun…but this year ride the Tour de Newton in service to your neighbors in need.
