Blackstone Valley NEMBA Toys for Tots Ride

Bring a new, unwrapped toy and ride Zig Zag Trails in Uxbridge — our annual Toys for Tots social ride. [NEMBA Group Ride] Blackstone Valley NEMBA is back at Zig Zag Trails in Uxbridge for one of our biggest events of the year. Last December 145 of you showed up and filled a van with toys — let's do it again! Your entry is a new, unwrapped toy. Uniformed Marines from the Marine Corps Reserve's 25th Marine Regiment will be on site to collect them for the Worcester County Toys for Tots campaign. Zig Zag Trails is privately owned and not open to the public, so you won't want to miss this one. The trails were built for sessionable, multi-loop riding with a mix of natural flow and man-made technical features + a few rider challenges! There's a kids course with activities and prizes, plus a skinny challenge with gift cards on the line. Come hang out by the fire at the Zig Zag Bar, grab a hot dog, sample the chili cookoff entries, and feel good about helping children in need. Holiday attire encouraged but not required. This is a FREE event, but please register so we can plan food and parking.
