Fairfax rider pitches Westford gravel-bike fundraiser to benefit town food shelf
Summary
Jason Boyd proposed a gravel-bike fundraiser with routes, staggered starts, ambulance volunteer coverage, and coordination with Westford Provisions and Bootlegger Bike to benefit the Westford Food Shelf; Selectboard expressed support and discussed logistics including parking and insurance.
Jason Boyd, an avid cyclist from Fairfax, presented a plan for a gravel-bike fundraiser to benefit the Westford Food Shelf. Boyd described route options, proposed staggered starts to reduce rider congestion, and said he had discussed pre-ordered food logistics with Westford Provisions and possible on-route bike support from Bootlegger Bike. He also said he would explore ambulance volunteer coverage and insurance requirements for the event.
Julia Andrews, who helps run the Westford Food Shelf, praised the idea and thanked Boyd. The Selectboard discussed practical logistics including parking at the School (noting a potential fall-soccer conflict) and the need to confirm insurance and town-permit details. Boyd said he would continue coordination with the Common Committee and event partners and return with more detailed planning.
