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 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!
