Reid's Ride 2021

Reid's Ride is a true North Shore event where participants travel at their own pace along the town and country roads of Essex County

This is the 17th year of Reid's Ride 28-Mile Bike Ride.  Because of social-distancing and other restriction imposed by COVID last year and continuing to this year, we have had to run this and last year's Reid's Ride as Virtual Events.  Hopefully in 2022 we'll resume our traditional event as a group bike ride from Lynnfield High School to our finish line activities at Stage Fort Park Gloucester for music, refreshments, awards, raffles and booths.
