Hello friends & community members!
We hope that everyone is doing well and has been enjoying summer!
We're just about one week away from The Overland – our charitable gravel cycling event that supports both Ascutney Outdoors and the Reading/West Windsor Food Shelf. We're extremely excited to get things rolling and grateful for all the community support that we've received thus far.
