Calling All Bicycle Enthusiasts! Ewing Green Team to Host 9th Annual Fall Spin Bike Tour As a Part Of Ewing Community Fest

July 18, 2023

Mayor Bert Steinmann, the Ewing Green Team, and the Ewing Recreation Department are pleased to announce that Ewing’s annual Fall Spin bike tour will be held on Saturday, September 30, 2023, starting at 8:15am.

We invite you to join your fellow Ewingites and pedal your way through town on a 12-mile leisurely ride with a guided Police escort, and enjoy a morning of exercise, fun and camaraderie. There will be rest stops with refreshments and free bike inspections, provided by Hart’s Cyclery, will be available.

The event, now in its 9^th year, has been a hit with area residents who enjoy taking a leisurely tour of the town with their friends and family members. It’s also a great opportunity to meet fellow residents from across Ewing.

This event kicks off Ewing’s annual Community Fest Celebration at TCNJ, starting and ending at Campus Town. Each year the proceeds are donated to a different charity. The selected charity for 2023 is Meals on Wheels of Mercer County, a local nonprofit dedicated to providing nutritious meals and related services, while easing the social isolation of our senior and homebound participants. The goal of the services is to assist participants, who wish to remain in their homes, maintain independence, dignity, health, and well-being.

The Ewing Fall Spin is open to individuals or teams, ages 18 years and older. You are encouraged to register early as there is a maximum number of 60 riders allowed. “We would love participants to sign up as individuals or come as a team of friends, family members or co-workers,” says EGT Member and Bike Tour Chairperson, Garry Keel. The Fall Spin registration fee is $25 prior to September 23rd and $30 thereafter. All persons registering by September 23rd will receive a T-shirt. Day-of-event registration will begin at 7:45am.
