It’s still not too late to register for the 10th annual Ewing Fall Spin bike tour.
The tour, hosted by Mayor Bert Steinmann, the Ewing Green Team and the Ewing Community Affairs Department is set to take place on Saturday, Sept. 21.
The event, which kicks off 8:15 a.m., will start and end at Campus Town at The College of New Jersey. All proceeds from this year’s event will be donated to the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen.
“The annual bike tour is a great opportunity to come together as a community, enjoy a morning of exercise and support a great cause,” said Steinmann. “All the proceeds… will make a real difference for those in need.”
Individuals or teams, ages 16 years and older, can register early.
“We would love participants to sign up as individuals or come as a team of friends, family members or co-workers,” said Garry Keel, Green Team member and bike tour chairperson.
The registration fee is $15 for students (TCNJ, Rider and 16-17 year olds), $20 for adults (individuals 18 years or older) and $40 for a Family Plan (three or more individuals living in the same household ages 16 and older).
All people registering by Sept. 14 will receive a T-shirt. Register through communitypass.net or call the recreation office at 609-883-1776, ext. 6202 for assistance. Day-of-event registration will begin at 7:45 a.m.
The event features a leisurely paced, 12-mile ride throughout Ewing Township neighborhoods. The tour will be escorted by Ewing Police, and rest stops and free bike inspections will be available.
The Ewing Green Team was established in 2009 by municipal resolution under the auspices of the Ewing Environmental Commission, and is part of the statewide Sustainable Jersey effort.
“The Green Team envisions a township that incorporates sustainability into the actions and decision-making processes of community members and municipal offices to create and maintain sustainable ways of living; builds strong and diverse economic opportunities; and cultivates a community that welcomes people from all walks of life,” states a township news release.
