We had a unforgettable ride on Oct 10 to honor Chinese American cyclist Henry Ar Foon (1874-1955), reportedly the first Chinese child born in the Boston area and elected president of the Winnisimmet Cycle Club of Chelsea in 1897. We visited scenic Wompatuck State Park, lovely Jerusalem Road in Cohasset, and ride to Scituate to his later-in-life home site and grave site.

The event was organized by CAAL, New England Chinese American Alliance (NECAA) and New England Cycling Coalition for Diversity.
