Calling all cyclists for a worthy cause.

Care Plus Ride for Wellness brings together all levels of cyclists for a fun day of bike riding, celebration and fund raising in support of those suffering from mental illnesses and to help them build a better life for themselves and their families.

Whatever your skill level and interest, we invite you to enjoying a beautiful autumn day in the scenic hills in support of a very worthy cause.  Join us on October 19th to ride for your own health and to help others on their road to wellness.

Fun for all ages

It’s a day of fun for all ages, no one is left behind!  There are 3 different routes to choose from ~ 50 miles, 25 miles and our 10 mile Family Fun ride.

For the smaller set, we have a “Training Wheels & Trikes” Ride, face painting, pumpkin decorating and kids’ activities a plenty.

Not a cyclist?  No worries!  Join us for an afternoon of music and good food at the picnic.

Catch the Team Spirit

It’s always more fun as a group.  Organize your friends, scouting troops or youth group to join you for a fun day of riding and raising money for those in need within your community!

1st Annual JORBA Bike Festival - A Celebration of New Jersey Mountain Biking

The goal of the “fest” is to promote responsible trail stewardship and cycling advocacy and awareness in New Jersey. The festival will feature events and activities for all ages and all cycling disciplines; mountain, road, cyclocross, cruiser, BMX, unicycles, you name it; all are encouraged to visit and enjoy this fun filled day, for the whole family.

Volunteers:

JORBA is going to need a boatload of volunteers to assist with all sorts of things. Why volunteer? Its fun! However, if you’re not convinced of that, perhaps we can tempt you with free admission (ok the event is free), free on-site camping with the JORBA and a special post-fest-party then you’re not reachable. So, if you’d like to assist for part of the day helping run the Fest, please contact bikefest@jorba.org.
