The
The Bergen Bike Tour will be held on Sunday, September 27, 2009 at Darlington County Park in Mahwah, NJ – rain or shine.
The Bergen Bike Tour is a fun-filled, family-oriented event that annually raises funds for two outstanding local organizations: Tomorrows Children’s Fund and The Volunteer Center of Bergen County.
The Bergen Bike Tour is coordinated by a team of volunteers from the business, legal and medical professions who have one goal: to give back to the community in which they live and work. All funds raised stay local and, because most of the work is done by volunteers, administrative expenses are kept to a bare minimum. The dollars raised go directly to support our two beneficiary charities: Tomorrows Children’s Fund and the Volunteer Center of Bergen County.
Individuals and families are invited to ride one of three routes through some of Bergen County’s most scenic areas. Routes are designed for cyclists of every ability: 10 miles, 25 miles or 50 miles.
Each tour begins with breakfast for all riders. After the ride cyclists, their friends and families are invited to join a home-cooked picnic plus a wide array of activities on the spacious grounds of Darlington Park: music, games, clowns - and prizes galore! Registered massage therapists will be on hand to relive cyclists’ tired muscles.
