Join the FT Providence cycling team and support the American Lung Association!

Do you like to bike? Get in shape and have fun this fall with the Fitness Together Providence cycling team! Join the FT team in the American Lung Association’s Autumn Escape Bike Trek across Cape Cod. The adventure is suitable for experienced cyclists and novices alike, taking participants on a scenic tour of the Cape from Plymouth to Provincetown. The event offers a 3-day, 160-mile option and a 2-day, 105-mile version that will take place the first weekend in October. Work for a good cause, have a fantastic time and get an excellent workout. Overnight accommodations are provided at two YMCA camps along the route.  

FT Providence owner Aaron Atwood will lead the studio’s team across the Cape and support the ALA fight against lung disease. Registration is $75 and includes accommodations in cabins at two summer camps, Camp Burgess in Sandwich on Friday and the Cape Cod Sea Caps in Brewster on Saturday. Each camp includes bathroom facilities and towels are provided. Breakfast and dinner will also be served, and along with refreshments available at the three daily Rest Stops, will support your ride with appropriate water and nutritious meals. Buses will be on hand for the return trip to the start on Sunday afternoon from Provincetown. Gear trucks will also be on hand to transport sleeping bags and overnight bags. Parking is available at the start free of charge.

Participants are asked to fundraise for the event with a goal of contributing $500. This donation will help the ALA in its mission to further research into lung disease and cancer and advocate for lung health. The organization needs your help in fighting against the third leading cause of death in America. By joining the FT team and the ALA you’ll support your own health, have a great time, and make a difference!
