BEYOND THE BIKE 20th ANNIVERSARY RIDE
Beyond the Bike 2021 will mark the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, when co-founder Susan Retik’s husband was killed on the first plane to hit the World Trade Center. Together with Susan, we will ride in honor of all the victims and rescuers who lost their lives that day. But we will also ride in celebration of the countless acts of courage and humanity that have marked the years since. Beyond the 11th funds projects that directly address the long-term strategy of helping Afghan women develop sustainable livelihoods.
more than just a bike ride
Beyond the Bike is so much more than just a bike ride. We begin at the memorial pools at the site of Ground Zero, make our way out of NYC through the rolling hills of CT eventually arriving back in Boston. The 3 days are physically challenging which makes the accomplishment so rewarding. But it’s the people who make the experience so memorable. The small community of riders, the incredible support team, and all of the volunteers along the way make this fundraiser the best thing you’ll do all year…

Your virtual participation will commemorate the 20th anniversary of 9/11 and raise money. No fundraising required, but those who raise $500 by July 10th will receive a Beyond the Bike jersey. Upon registration, a fundraising page is automatically created for you.
