What about the Sea Glass Ride?

History

The first ride took place July 1, 2006 when roughly 40 riders pedaled from Swampscott to Gloucester and back. Riders stopped at Stage Fort Park for a snack before heading back to the staging area of Temple Shirat Hayam in Swampscott. The ride is now in its third year, and we are looking to expand the event, and we are also looking for sponsors to provide snacks, rider support, spare tires, tubes and other spare bike equipment. We also welcome your expertise to improve this Web site. Registration information is below.

Why we ride

We ride in memory of Sue de Vries of Swampscott, a mother of three, a good friend and dedicated Pan-Massachusetts Challenge rider who died of cancer in April 2006 at age 44. She was an inspiration to us all, to friends, cancer survivors and riders in the PMC and she is missed. She also liked to collect sea glass, and so we give each rider a piece in her memory.

The route

The 42-mile ride starts at Temple Shirat Hayam in Swampscott and heads up Atlantic Avenue, to Humphrey Street to Route 114 through downtown Salem. We travel over the Beverly Bridge on Route 1A and then travel the coast on Route 107 through Beverly Farms, Manchester and Gloucester.
