The Dick Melloni Youth Foundation will hold its annual Foundation 55 bike ride on Saturday, August 17.

The event kicks off from the Onset Pier. Riders can choose from a 20-mile ride or a 55-mile ride. The course heads to the Cape Cod Canal, through Miles Standish State Forest, and back to Onset, where riders will be treated to a reception at Salerno's Function Hall.

Check in is from 7 to 8 a.m. and the ride begins at 8:30 a.m.

Proceeds from the event benefit the Dick Melloni Youth Foundation. Based in Wareham, the foundation focuses on children's education, health, and welfare. It is well-known for "Lids-4-Kids," which provides free bicycle helmets for families, and for its annual holiday toy drive.
