Pure Water Ride 2014 Begins!

The Pure Water Ride is starting soon.  This year we have an exciting new way for you to support improved health through pure water.  Your choice of donation level and what maximum donation you would like to contribute.  We will be biking up three mountains during the summer and fall of 2014. 

Blue Hill in Canton, MA is the highest peak in Eastern Mass, rising to a height of 635 feet.  Massachusetts gets its name from the Indians who lived in the area around blue hills whose name means 'people of the great hills'.  We are asking for a donation of $5.00 for each time we ride up the access road to the top, up to the maximum number of times you chose to support.


Wachusett Mountain in Princeton, MA is the highest peak in central Massachusetts at 2006 feet.  We are asking for a donation of  $20.00 for every time we ride to the top, up to the maximum number of times you pledge to support.


Mt. Greylock in Adams, MA is the highest peak in Massachusetts.  At 3491 feet, the summit offers dramatic views of the beautiful Berkshires.  We are asking for a donation of $40.00, the cost of one water filter for a single household, if we manage to ride to the top.  Due to the distance and the arduous climb, we plan only one ascent this year. 


Follow our progress-check this blog throughout the season.  Like to get some exercise, see some fantastic scenery, and have some fun?  Then bring your bike and join us for one of these rides.  Contact me at purewaterride@msn.com and we will try to find a date and time that will work.  All riders must make a contribution.  After all, the purpose of the pure water ride is to help provide pure, clean, healthy water to those who often have to drink dirty, contaminated, unhealthy water.
