About Chicken Joe's Ride For Kids

This three day event through Connecticut, Southern Massachusetts, and upstate New York covers roughly 225 miles.  Riders are coming together to not only enjoy the camaraderie that will be created as they pull for each other on the ride but more importantly, the satisfaction that they will feel when they cross the finish line knowing they went the distance and helped to raise funds which will impact the lives of people that are served by the following organizations:
