Friends of the Bike Path

To the Editor:

The Friends of the Bike Path and the Mattapoisett Land Trust thank the Town, the Highway Department , the Police Department, the Harbormaster and our amazing corps of volunteers for helping to make the 2017 Tour De Crème a wonderful day for all. Our registered riders included people from 69 towns in Massachusetts and 11 states. Among other things, our volunteers welcomed riders, fixed flats, directed lost cyclists, helped at road crossings, assisted creameries, marked the routes and set up/closed down the starting area and party. We thank the Jeff Dunn Band for the great music that accompanied the picnic. We thank the region’s wonderful creameries for serving delicious samples and our neighboring Towns for hosting our riders safely on their beautiful byways. We especially thank our business sponsors for helping us to grow the event and our individual fundraising riders for their support of land conservation, better biking, and outdoor family fun. And, of course, we thank all the drivers who graciously accommodate bicyclists, walkers and runners on the road. To everyone, please stay safe until next year and share the road wisely. People who have comments or questions about the event or about safely riding in the region can contact Bonne DeSousa at 508-951-2406.

Sincerely,

Bonne DeSousa
