Ride for a reason on Team CTKF
On Sunday, May 4, 2025, Clothes To Kids of Fairfield County will join cyclists from around the world for the 2025 TD Five Boro Bike Tour. Funds raised by members of Team CTKF will provide quality school clothing for children in-need, so they can attend school with the confidence and self-esteem needed to achieve academic success.
As a tour, not a race, this is an amazing opportunity for cyclists of all ages and skill levels to unite for the largest rolling celebration of cycling. For one day the city streets and bridges of New York City will be ours, as we ride through all five boroughs on car-free streets. There’s no better way to experience the city.
