Pan-Martha Bike Ride

The Pan-Martha Challenge, 50-mile bike-a-thon around Martha’s Vineyard on August 27, will benefit life-saving cancer research charities.

Beginning in Oak Bluffs, pedaling through Edgartown, out to Chilmark and Aquinnah, and back through Vineyard Haven, the Pan-Martha Challenge is not only a beautiful was to experience Martha’s Vineyard, 100 per cent of every rider-raised dollar is donated directly to local cancer research charities.

Registration takes place Saturday morning at 8 a.m. at the Portuguese-American Club on Vineyard avenue in Oak Bluffs, and riders set off at 9 a.m. There are refreshments at the halfway point, the Aquinnah lighthouse, and there also will be a post-ride barbecue with food, drink and live entertainment in Oak Bluffs!
