Staged by the Bicycle Touring Club of North Jersey (BTCNJ), the Ramapo Rally offers a full slate of bicycle rides, from an ultra century 125-mile trek designed for more seasoned cyclists, to a modest 12-mile cruise geared to novice and beginning riders. Other routes of varying lengths, speed and difficulty of terrain are also available for recreational cyclists whose riding skills are at different levels.

Cyclists can elect to ride their chosen routes on their own by using supplied cue sheets and following on-course directional arrows, or by joining an escorted tour led by seasoned BTCNJ ride leader volunteers. In addition, GPS files will be made available several days before the rally. Well-stocked rest stops offering snacks and comfort facilities will be available on each route. And SAG wagons providing help to riders with mechanical or physical issues will be ready to assist. All registrants will receive a free bicycle-related gift.

Complete information on fees, registration forms, ride starting times, directions to Campgaw Mountain in Mahwah where the Rally starts, the day’s agenda, etc. is available at www.ramaporally.com.  A portion of the proceeds from the Rally supports the activities of Camp Sunshine, a local facility for multiply disabled children and young adults.
