What is 10thGear?
We are a group of youths and adults who love cycling.  We were started more than 10 years ago with the youth group of the Village Congregational Church of Whitinsville, Massachusetts, and have been taking bicycle tours throughout the United States and into Canada every year since. We are associated with the Boy Scouts of America, and are open to boys and girls who have completed the 5th grade and older.
We provide cycling opportunities for youth and adults, mainly through arranging and supporting tours every year, some supported by vehicles, and some self-contained.  We stay in churches or campgrounds overnight, and share in all work duties required to get our group fed, rested and down the road the next day.  We divide our tours between older and younger youth.  We maintain a youth/adult ratio of 5-7 to 1 on all tours, and use adult leadership from cyclists who have experience working with youth in church and community settings.
