Skyler Sears of Scotland started #cycling in the Steeple Chase in 2014 when he was just 13 years old, choosing to ride the 35-mile route. He has committed in the event every year since, and in 2015 took on the challenge of 100-miles (also known as the Century ride). Skyler will be riding the #Century again for his fifth consecutive year in 2019. Now 18, he graduated this June from Parish Hill High School and will be attending #uconn in the fall. “I love the Steeple Chase because of the people, the beauty of the rides, and the important causes that it supports. There’s no feeling like cycling to make a difference in your community.”

Saul plans to ride in the 2019 Steeple Chase on August 17th. Join him as a walker or a rider -- register online at www.steeplechasebiketour.org or at bikereg.com!

Our routes are carefully and clearly marked! It's hard to get lost on the Steeple Chase. But... if you do... call for help and our Sag Wagon will come put you on the right path.

#WhyDoYouRide? "Our family actively supports the beneficiaries of this ride all year round. We #cycle 20-miles, often with friends. Our participation helps #nonprofits that make a difference to our neighbors, and it gets us out of the house and into the fresh air." #fitness

Happy #July4th! It's a great day to register to ride or walk in the Steeple Chase on August 17th. www.steeplechasebiketour.org/register

Our 5-mile #walk travels the hilly streets of #Willimantic passing by beautiful Victorian homes. The rest stop is First Congregational Church on Valley Street. Stop by Willimantic Brewing Company or Grounded Coffee Company or many other area businesses. #walking #fitness #share

#WhyDoYouRide Many, many Steeple Chase #cyclists report that they most love the #food served at rest stops along the routes. "It's the only ride I know that you can gain weight on." #Yum #cycling #fitness #charity #CT #nonprofit #energy

#WhyDoYouRide Sue Beauregard rides to support #nonprofits in her community. "In 2014, I rode the Steeple Chase towing my son Lannie on the trailer bike. It's wonderful to pass on that love of #cycling while raising money for the services of PPI, WAIM and the No Freeze Project."

Colchester Dental Group is one of our biggest contributors. Dr. Mike Babinski explains, "Every year word spreads among our patients, staff and friends – now we have 40 to 50 riders each year. Together we raise thousands of dollars for some truly great organizations.” #cycling

We are thrilled to introduce our new title sponsor, Windham Region United Way. Thank you for supporting the Steeple Chase Bike Tour & Walk and our 3 non-profit beneficiaries! #gratitude #cycling #walking #nonprofit #CT #donate #fundraiser

Home Selling Team rides every year. "None of us are cyclists, but a group of 8 agents and some mortgage people rode the 35-mile route our first year and we raised more than $3700! We try to add to our group every year to raise even more money.” #cycling #fitness #activism #fun
