Lovely Middle Road, lined with six family farms, will be CAR FREE so families, friends, and neighbors can enjoy the experience of riding together. On May 11th, from 10-1pm, Middle Road will close to traffic for the second Portsmouth Farm-to-Farm Bike Ride – a short and delightful 4 mile ride for people of all ages and biking and walking abilities. Please join us!!!

Starting from the School Administration Building at the north end of Middle Road, at 10.00am, and turning around at Benjamin Drive at the South End, riders and walkers will pass six family farms on their way up and back on the 2 mile route: Escobar Farm, DeArruda Farm, Quonset View Farm, Portsmouth Nursery, BAW Farm, and DeCastro View Farms. Bike Newport instructors will be on hand at the start to assist with bike checks and helmet fittings, and along the route to offer assistance.

There’ll be food available to purchase, Reds Rhode Island, Rhody Roots, and Flat Waves Food Shack and My Rolling Cafe – porta-potties and lots of fun, so get it on your calendars and invite all your friends.

In addition to the bike ride, Clean Ocean Access will be running a roadside cleanup for the duration of the event, so sign up to get your cleaning gear to help keep Middle Road beautiful for all to enjoy!
