Matters Fundraiser Pedaling for a purpose

The fourth annual We Bike for Kids—The Villages will be held March 21 at SeaBreeze Recreation Center.

There will be three rides to accommodate both beginner and advanced cyclists: a 62-mile ride that begins at 8:30 a.m.; a 32-mile ride in The Villages that begins at 9:30 a.m.; and a 6- or 11-mile ride on golf cart paths that begins at 10 a.m. All rides include well-stocked rest stops, marked routes and SAG mechanical support. Riders receive a light breakfast, goody bag, free raffle ticket, complimentary massage and lunch provided by Ricciardi’s Italian Table.
