(Hatfield, MA) — Hundreds of bicyclists hit the road this weekend in an effort to wipe out hunger in the four western counties of Massachusetts. The annual “Will Bike 4 Food” event to benefit the Food Bank of Western Mass took off from the Hatfield Lions Club Pavilion Sunday morning, with over 300 riders from Hampshire, Franklin, Hampden and Berkshire counties taking part. The exact dollar figure raised will be announced next month, but organizers estimate that at least $158,000 was at this weekend’s 11th annual event.
