On September 24, under sunny skies, 11 cyclists rode for Gaining Ground in the Three Squares New England 6th annual Ride for Food. They raised more than $13,000 to help further Gaining Ground’s mission to grow organic produce and donate it to hunger relief efforts. Five volunteers donated their time by checking in riders, marshaling, and posting on social media.

Gaining Ground would like to thank those who rode, volunteered, or donated to a rider. We would also like to thank Three Squares New England, which put on an incredible event. The well-marked 10-, 25-, and 50-mile routes were on beautiful roads in Dedham, Needham, Dover, Sherborn, and Millis. The post-ride celebration with fantastic food, music, and beer was a blast. We are already looking forward to next year!
