Bike Ride in the Refuge October 28, 2023

Dozens of participants came out for the Back Bay NWR Society sponsored trail ride at the refuge on Saturday, October 28, 2023. Wonderful weather provided wonderful views. Special thanks to our partner for the day, Surf and Adventure Company, for the use of their rental bikes for this event.

Since the ride was so well attended, the Society is looking into the possibility of doing it again in the spring when refuge trails reopen in April and next fall prior to closing of the trials.
