Team Maddie-Thousand Island Bike Ride

The 2nd annual bike ride to the Thousand Islands!!

We rode from Binghamton NY up to the Thousand Islands, finishing at the North Country Welcome Center, 190 miles in total. We have a few support vehicles and created 20 mile segments where the vehicles will stop so riders can refuel and even if wanted, take a break for a segment. This was our 2nd year for the ride and its main purpose is for Alex’s Lemonade stand, which is a non for profit raising funds for childhood cancer research. September is a big month for the foundation, they created a campaign called “The Million Mile”.

Each September to bring awareness and raise funds teams are formed, individuals set goals for themselves to walk, run or bike miles and donate dollars to raise. The car company Volvo, will match donations often a weekend or 2 in the month, so we try to plan the ride to line up with the match.
