Hundreds of cyclists of all abilities hit the road on Oct. 14 for the 10th annual Vista Tour de Shore cycling event and fundraiser benefiting Vista Life Innovations, a community-based organization dedicated to supporting the personal success of individuals with disabilities.

The milestone event, which saw more than 200 registered participants and 23 fundraising teams, is expected to net more than $65,000. Net proceeds benefit the Vista Endowment Fund, a supporting organization of Vista Life Innovations.

The event has to date raised more than $530,000 for the Vista Endowment Fund and attracted more than 2,200 cyclists over the past 10 years. Tour de Shore also raises awareness of Vista and its mission by helping to foster meaningful friendships among community members and Vista members.

Vista thanks the Westbrook Elks Lodge and event sponsors Zane’s Cycles, Branford Jewelers, Alexion, Wells Fargo, Thomson Bike Tours, Harbor News/Zip06.com, Essex Printing, Essex Savings Bank, Pasta Vita, and 21st Century Tolland Fund.
