Vista Life Innovations to Host 18th Annual Tour de Shore Cycling Event on October 4

Vista Tour de Shore is on Sunday, October 4! Enjoy a scenic shoreline ride while supporting individuals with disabilities.

WESTBROOK, CT — On Sunday, October 4, Vista Life Innovations (Vista) will host the 18th annual Vista Tour de Shore cycling event. Starting and ending at the Westbrook Elks Lodge, this community event offers routes of 5, 25, 40, and 60 miles that showcase the scenic Connecticut shoreline.

The annual ride raises funds in support of Vista's mission: providing training, support, and resources that empower individuals with disabilities to achieve personal success and belonging throughout their lives. Over the past 18 years, the event has netted more than $800,000 and welcomed over 3,000 cyclists to the shoreline.

This year's presenting sponsors, Wells Fargo Advisors, Zane's Cycles, and Signature Cycles are longtime champions of Tour de Shore, and their continued commitment has helped sustain the event's growth over nearly two decades. Vista extends its gratitude to these organizations, as well as to the many individual and community sponsors, for making this year's ride possible.
