On Saturday, August 23rd, 2025, 300 riders pedaled into an adventure only Newport could offer. The 10-Spot Ride turned the city into a moving feast—rolling from hidden courtyards to schooner decks, from pocket-sized gardens to sweeping ocean views, from colonial corners to gilded mansions. Along the way came performers, every kind of flavor, and plenty of good company—a ride as varied and surprising as Newport itself.
