			"FAT TIRE FUN RIDE" - Sunday, Sept.13th

ALL YOU NEED ARE FAT TIRES!

Tired of riding in town, dodging cars and weaving around road bikes? Well the
"Fat Tire Fun Ride" is just the thing for you! In the tradition of great
MS bike tours, we have added a Mountain bike one-day fun ride to our extensive
list of tours! You can choose to ride at Harold Parker State Forest in North
Andover, MA. or at Wendell State Forest in Wendell, MA. Both routes will
accommodate all levels of riding.... from the "never evers" to the "experienced
stump-jumpers"... and guarantee a day of fun and a chance to meet other "Fat
Tire" lovers!

THE RIDE AT HAROLD PARKER STATE FOREST

If you choose to ride at Harold Parker State Forest in North Andover, you will
enjoy many miles of scenic trails, with routes marked by the New England
Mountain Bike Association to maximize both fun and environmental awareness.
Interlocking loops of 3 and 9 miles provide riding for all ability levels.
Easier, wide, fire roads connect with rockier single and double-track trails
to form a network which can provide a full day of woods riding or just an hour
of great cruising.

THE RIDE AT WENDELL STATE FOREST

This route promises to bring out the nature lover in everyone with approximately
12 miles of trails with different levels of difficulty. The trails will take you
through some of Western Massachusetts' most beautiful country. Come see Wendell
State Forest as your fat tires have never seen it before!

TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE

Take pride...
Since the Massachusetts Chapter began cycling events in 1982, MS Bike Tours
have gained a well-earned reputation as organized, fun and safe events.
Experienced cyclists plan the routes with care. The event is not a race and we
stress safety and encourage riders to travel at their own speed and obey
all regulations.

WE TAKE CARE OF YOU !!

>From start to finish...
Both routes have been carefully planned to insure the safety of our riders and
preservation of the trails in the forests. As on all MS bike tours, cyclists
will have access to repairs, first-aid, and facilities. Radio and safety
volunteers will be stationed throughout the trails in the forest for assisting
riders and to prevent trail damage.

		------ BIKE HELMETS ARE REQUIRED ------

PEDAL WITH A PURPOSE

Help fight multiple sclerosis...
Every week some 200 young adults learn they have multiple sclerosis, a chronic,
disabling disease of the central nervous system. MS can run the range of
disabilities from blurred vision to total paralysis. To date there is no known
cause or cure for this disease. Each mile you ride will raise funds for
national research and provide local services to the over 6,000 individuals in
Massachusetts affected by MS.
