How do I find charity rides in Connecticut?
Exactly what the title says.
I rode a century for the Tour deCure two weeks ago from North Haven CT. I loved it. What an awesome experience!
I'm hooked and want to do more. The only charities I know of are the ADA/TdC, and the MS rides. Since I know about those, it's easy cuz I can just look them up on their websites.
But there could be rides that I'm missing!!!!! Is there a website that lists all the charity rides in an area or something?

Other than this and similiar forums, not that I'm aware of. Have you tried asking around the local bike shop or clubs about other rides. They'd typically be the ones asked to do some of the organizing and route layouts.

The Tour of the Litchfield Hills in early August and the Ride for Rick in September are 2 that I have done and will do again this year. Both have websites.

This will be my 4th yr doing this ride. I'll be riding the 75m and know I'll hook up with some good
people as in the past. All the money raised stays in the Northwest corner of the state to support
The Center For Cancer Care in Torrington. Come out, it's going to be a nice day and enjoy.

You've already missed it for this year, but the Steeple Chase in Willimantic, CT a couple of weeks ago was a great event. Challenging hilly course, but plenty of well stocked rest stops to keep you going. Definitely worth putting on your calendar for next year.
