TEAM BARNEGAT RIDES AGAIN!!!

 has been a long, long winter and many of us are just happy to see a day with now snow in the forecast.  That being said, Spring is upon us and what better way to celebrate the upcoming warm weather than by committing yourself to joining Team Barnegat and riding in The Coast The Coast Ride For MS.  Team Barnegat was originally formed in 2008 in an effort to bring local people together to ride for a good cause.  In the many years since, we have raised over $28,000 as a group and have helped many local people who suffer from the debilitating effects from this disease.  Multiple Sclerosis affects the central nervous system and has many symptoms.  The worst cases of MS brings a lack of muscular function putting patients in wheelchairs, it can affect vision and can sometimes even lead to death.  The National MS Society gives a large percentage of it's donations to local people who need help with their medical expenses, transportation and treatment.

Won't you join this amazing group of people who are riding for a good cause?  Click here http://bikenjm.nationalmssociety.org/site/TR/Bike/NJMBikeEvents?fr_id=23412&pg=entry  to join Team Barnegat on this beautiful ride along the Jersey Coast!  There are 4 rides to choose from, most are doing the 25 but the 2 day, 170 mile ride from West Long Branch to Cape May is AWESOME if you are up for it!  If you are unable to join us for the ride, you can also support us by making a donation in the same link.  Call Team Captain Sandi Gomez at 609-284-3553 or email sandigomez10@gmail.com for more information.  This is a memory making ride...Don't Miss It!!  ALSO LOOKING FOR SPONSORS!!
