For 6 weeks, young athletes across Rhode Island and Massachusetts have been swimming, biking, and running toward this one incredible goal!
This finale event brings together participants from Race4Chase programs across both states to celebrate their hard work, determination, and confidence gained throughout the summer. It’s more than a race, it’s a powerful celebration of youth achievement, healthy living, and community support.
While this event is exclusively for Race4Chase participants and not open to public registration, we need enthusiastic volunteers to help make it a safe, smooth, and unforgettable experience for every child crossing that finish line.

Please join OMS for the Gravel Gallop bike ride on August 2. Riders can start at 8:30 am, but feel free to arrive at your convenience.
We have 3 route options: 9 mile, 32 mile, and 45 mile loops, all through beautiful Plymouth, VT. The routes have great diversity and some challenging climbs. The start and finish will be at Plymouth State Park. The registration fee includes day use of the park for the whole day. Perfect for swimming in the lake after the ride!
This is a fun, non-competitive, self-guided ride. There are no aid stations or volunteers along the route, so please carry plenty of water and dress appropriately.
ALSO…we are riding on some fine, quiet dirt roads. BUT. We have to be mindful of other users. And there are some sections of road with sketchy washboards. The worst one.. maybe… is descending Old Turnpike towards Rt.103. There are nasty washboards into a sweeping left hand turn then a RR crossing. A wise person once told me…"When in doubt, chicken out" GREAT Mantra

The 23rd Annual Tour of the Litchfield Hills is on for Sunday, August 2nd.
As many of you know, the Tour is a charity ride to benefit The Cancer Care Fund of the Litchfield Hills Inc. Over the past twenty-two years, the Tour has raised well over $1,600,000 to help cancer victims and their families deal with the ravages of cancer.
The Tour will be fully supported with SAG wagons and rest stops. All of the roads are paved. The Tour routes will take you on scenic, lightly travelled rural roads and through historic villages. There will be our traditional free picnic held at the end of the ride. The first 700 people who register receive a free t-shirt. The Tour is held rain or shine!
Some important things to note are:
The registration fee is $50 if you register online by July 15th. Starting July 16th, the registration fee goes up to $55.
If you raise $1,500 or more in donations, you will receive a free Tour bike jersey.
Because the Tour is the primary fund-raising event for the Cancer Care Fund of the Litchfield Hills, all registrations are non-refundable.
Before you start your ride or walk you must check in at the registration desks at Coe Park - even if you have pre-registered.
We encourage you to form teams. Check our website for details.
We encourage you to collect additional donations from friends, family, biking buddies, random strangers, etc. You can make additional donations on this site or go to www.Pledgereg.com.

Bike racing can be a bit scary and very little of that fear can be from the actual racing
Knowing how call-ups work, how to handle your bike, pre-race prep, and maintenance are all things that can be intimidating for someone just getting into the sport. We're hosting free weekly cyclocross clinics (what we call CX School) for beginners to cover all that stuff, and more. This weekly series will focus on different topics each week - but we will revisit things to bring everything together and get new people up to speed. We hope you leave our clinics not just feeling like you learned a bit about bike racing, but have also made new friends that will help you on your new adventure!
This is beginner's clinic for people who have either never raced at all, haven't raced cross before, or are just wanting to refine their skills for this coming season. Bring whatever bike+helmet you have, and something to drink. Plan for about an hour of instruction+ride time at the park.
We'll be meeting at 6pm on the following dates, rain or shine (unless the rain is a bad storm)
August 4th, 2026
August 11th, 2026
August 18th, 2026

September 1st, 2026
September 8th, 2026
September 15th, 2026
September 22nd, 2026
September 29th, 2026
If you see one of the CX School leaders at a race, don't hesitate to say "hi" or ask any questions. We're here/there to help you out!
Why is this free?
It's expensive enough to get into racing as it is, and learning more about it shouldn't add to that burden. If you're worried about the quality of instruction I've been helping people ride and race better since 2013. I've led dozens of free clinics for cyclocross and mountain biking, started the Lincoln, NE chapter of Nebraska DEVO (kids mountain biking program) and led instruction there as well. I'm just getting back into racing after some health issues and love to share what I know about bikes and welcome others into the sport.

"The Waz" Junior Road Race Series:
The CCAP and the Connecticut cycling community suffered a tremendous loss in 2020 with the passing of our dear friend and ardent supporter, coach, and volunteer, Matt Waskiewicz. Matt’s wide smile and open arms were a welcome sight to all, especially those new to our sport; not a day goes by without “The Waz” in our thoughts.
Coach Matt’s ability to find the natural athlete and foment drive and ambition in every young rider brought out the best in us all. Our goal is to continue his passion with renewed vigor as we open our 2025 road racing season.
Additional Event Notes:
All USAC Rules Apply. Helmets required. No Tri-Bikes or forward-facing bar ends. No sleeveless Jerseys. ALL riders will need either an annual license or purchase a $15 one-day license via bikereg.

Hoopla 2026 dates just announced!
Join us for a weekend of bringing folks together to enjoy cycling, camping, outdoor adventure and fun! Make new friends, ride awesome trails and try out new bikes. We have planned a family friendly event and are ready to inspire new riders as well as to challenge trail and road warriors alike. Enjoy guided rides for all levels in the beauty of the Berkshire Hills: road ride, single track, gravel, kids, enduro, double track and family friendly trails. Bonfires, food trucks, live music, BBQ and maybe even a disco tent! This is not a mountain bike specific event, it’s open to all disciplines of cycling whether you are on a road, gravel, kids, fat or mountain bike. Just c’mon out and play!
Camping and event activities are located at Ponderosa Pines Campground at 50 Potter Mountain Rd, in Lanesborough. It is best accessed from the east or south(Pecks Rd, Bull Hill Rd or Churchill St and beware of your GPS advising you to come in from NY to the west via Potter Mtn Rd, you won’t make it over! The campground is nestled in-between Balance Rock State Park and Pittsfield State Forest(https://www.mass.gov/locations/pittsfield-state-forest), the 3rd and 4th largest public lands in the state of Massachusetts. Being on a dirt road it is the perfect location to start a gravel ride, with direct access to single track out the back of the campground is doesn’t get much better for the mountain bikers and the Mount Greylock Visitor Center(https://www.mass.gov/locations/mount-greylock-state-reservation) on Rockwell Rd is a short 7 miles away so you won’t use up to much energy before pedaling to the highest point in Massachusetts on your road bike! We will have a kids loop that stays close to
the event site, but even young teenagers will find that the access to the single track is quite manageable.
Our goal is to create a safe and fun environment to gather like minded people. With your participation, Hoopla is able to support other local cycling events, maintain and improve existing trails, purchase equipment for trail builders and donate to fitness/sporting organizations that need a little help.
Hope to see you there!
