The fifth annual memorial ride for Josh Wilterdink, who died in a car accident less than two months after graduating from MVHS in 2009, will take place on Saturday, August 9. In case of heavy rain on Saturday, the ride will be moved to August 10.

Suggested donation is $25 per bike to benefit the Josh Wilterdink Memorial Campership Fund, Boy Scouts of America Daniel Webster Council.

The ride leaves from the Blackwater Junction Restaurant on Route 4 in Andover. Registration starts at 9:15 AM; we ride at 10. The ride ends at the Bristol House of Pizza in Bristol at around 12 PM for pizza.

It is hard to believe it’s been five years! Please help us honor Josh by making this the best ride yet, and send a boy to summer camp. If you can’t ride with us, donations can be sent to the Josh Wilterdink Memorial Campership Fund, 18 North Short Street, Andover 03216. We will gather the donations and send them to the Scouting Director in Manchester.
