GSW Offers Ten $2,500 Grants to NH Bicycling Organizations
The Granite State Wheelers (GSW) bicycling club was started in 1971 and has become the most active, adult recreational bicycling club in New England. The club emphasizes and promotes safety, education and camaraderie. Our signature event is the Seacoast Century held every year (except for Covid in 2020) since 1973, #50 to be September 21, 2024. Proceeds from this nationally-acclaimed event are invested back into GSW’s programs including this Grant Program.
The GSW is pleased to again offer up to ten $2,500.00 grants to NH-based bicycling organizations for worthwhile projects in the areas of bicycle safety, education, and ridership expansion.
