Good Turnout for Second B2B Ride...

Once again, 100+ riders participated in the "Ride the Route" event Saturday..




Riders gathered at Folly Beach and the Isle of Palms and headed for the Battery at White Point Gardens in downtown Charleston.  A few riders joined along the way.  at the conclusion of the ride, an after-party took place at  the Vendue Rooftop Bar at 25 Vendue Range, sponsored in part by New Belgium Beer . Live music was provided by Corey Webb and friends.

Once again, more quarter-mile segments of the B2B route were "rented" to support the continuing drive to improve conditions on the route.

At the after party, Charleston Moves acting director Tom Bradford told the crowd the B2B campaign was about more than the 24-mile route. "This is about how we think about our communities and what kind of places they are," he said, "about whether or not we can lead healthy lifestyles and choose whatever kind of transportation suits us."
