Cycle Ride

RIDE INFORMATION  Whether it’s your first time riding, or you have been riding for years, we welcome you to join our cycle rides! The program offers group rides on the linear trail and are designed for adult cyclists of all abilities who have a physical disability or visual impairment. All riding is on a closed trail, free from traffic! Cycle rides are meant to be enjoyable for riders of all abilities, so each ride may break into several groups based on ability, speed & distance desired. All cyclists must preregister and reserve a bike for each ride by calling the Sports Association at 203-284-2772

Veterans Fishing Tournament

The Veterans Fishing Tournaments are open water bass tournaments for veterans or service members with a permanent physical disability, visual impairment or PTSD. Each veteran will be paired with an experienced angler and boat captain for a day on the water. The tournament includes all fishing equipment, a weigh-in and an awards luncheon. Prizes are awarded for the top 3 weights.

This event is organized in collaboration with the Major Steven “Roy” Andrews Fishing Outreach Program and CT Bass Nation.

This program is funded in part by a grant from the United States Department of Veteran Affairs in partnership with Move United Warfighter Sports Program and is offered at NO COST for veterans.
