Rolling Thunder's "Ride For Freedom" To Rumble Through Lambertville

LAMBERTVILLE, NJ — Motorists can expect delays on Sunday, May 28 around 12 p.m. in the Lamberville, New Jersey area as Rolling Thunder's "Ride For Freedom" rumbles through Lambertville.

Around 500 motorcycles will be traveling south on Route 179 from the county fair grounds to Route 29 southbound and eventually to Washington Crossing State Park, New Jersey.

The New Jersey State Police will be conducting traffic control for the event.

Expect delays at the following intersections: Route 179 and North Franklin Street, Route 179 and Route 165, Route 165 and Route 518, Route 165 and Swan Street and Route 29 and Mt. Hope Street.

Rolling Thunder was incorporated in 1995 as a non-profit organization with more than 90 chapters in the United States. While a number of the Rolling Thunder members are veterans who ride motorcycles, it is not necessary in order to be a member. They are united in the cause of bringing accountability for the Prisoners-of-War and Missing In Action of all wars, living by the statement: "We Will Not Forget."

This Ride for Freedom is not a parade for motorcyclists. It is a demonstration to pay respect to those who gave their lives for everyday freedom, and to publicize for POW/MIA and Veteran's Rights. You don't have to ride in order to attend. Many people line the streets simply to watch the procession and pay respects to American heroes.
