15TH ANNUAL BIKE BERGEN ON MAY 4!
The IRF's 15th Annual Bike Bergen for the Homeless Children and Families was held on Sunday, May 4, 2008. You can ride 3, 15 or 25 miles, walk 3 miles or take on the extreme cycling challenge: the Metric Century Ride, a 100 km ride. All routes will start and end at Depot Square in Park Ridge, NJ (corner of Hawthorne and Park Avenues, directly opposite Cyclesport. You can visit cyclesportonline.com for directions). There will be prizes, food and drink, entertainment and FAMILY FUN!
Bike riders and walkers are asked to raise pledges of $150 or more. Sponsorship support for those individuals and businesses who want to help homeless children and families in a more financially substantial way should consider becoming a sponsor of this very popular event.
