Mattapan Food and Fitness Coalition's 14th Annual Mattapan on Wheels had 120 bikers! On three separate routes, teams rode from the river to the beach, through food forests, and to the Blue Hills to visit stunning spaces. Kudos to the Vigorous Youth group who planned the event, and led riders.

The Neponset River Watershed Association helped lead the ride to the Blue Hills, which explored equitable multimodal transportation links from Boston to the Blue Hills. Read more about the project in the comments.

Riders were treated to Papi's Stuffed Sopapillas after the ride!
