Description

The goal of the annual Closer to Free bike ride is two-fold: to raise money for Smilow Cancer Hospital at Yale-New Haven and create greater awareness for cancer care throughout Connecticut and Southern New England.

The first annual Closer to Free Ride will take place on September, 10, 2011. The start and finish will be at the Yale Bowl Complex in New Haven. The 2011 ride will run along the scenic Connecticut coastline and pass through 12 towns including: New Haven, East Haven, North Branford, Guilford, Madison, Killingworth, Deep River, Essex, Old Saybrook, Westbrook, Clinton and Branford. Both a 100-mile and 25-mile route option will be offered.

Those who are interested in supporting the event, but are unable to participate as a rider, have many opportunities to help. Event sponsors, individual rider sponsors, and a minimum of 100 volunteers on the day of the ride are all needed to help ensure its success.
