Pedal for a Cause: The Inaugural Warrior Bike Tour Empowers New Jersey's Military Community

Lace up your cycling shoes and get ready to embark on a scenic journey through the picturesque landscapes of Burlington County, New Jersey. The inaugural Warrior Bike Tour, co-sponsored by the Military Support Alliance of New Jersey (MSA-NJ) and HeroCare Connect, is set to unite cyclists of all skill levels in support of the state's military community.

Ride for Those Who Serve

Gear up for a day of camaraderie, fitness, and community support as you pedal through the serene farmlands and lush woodlands of the region. Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or a casual rider, the Warrior Bike Tour offers a range of routes to cater to every level of experience.

Tailored Trails for Every Rider

Riders can choose from a 10-mile leisurely family ride, a more challenging 25-mile route, or a "push yourself" 50-mile course. Each route has been meticulously planned to ensure safety and maximize the natural beauty of the surroundings. The rides will kick off at the Deborah Heart and Lung Center in Browns Mills, just a mile from the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, and cyclists will return to the hospital for a celebratory "thank you" event.

Supporting Those Who Serve

The Warrior Bike Tour is more than just a recreational event; it's a powerful way to show support for the military community in New Jersey. The proceeds from the ride will directly benefit the initiatives of the MSA-NJ, which addresses critical issues such as food insecurity, mental health challenges, and a variety of quality-of-life concerns for active-duty service members, veterans, and their families.

A Collaborative Effort

The event is a collaborative effort between the MSA-NJ and HeroCare Connect, an organization that represents the military health care services provided by Deborah Heart and Lung Center and Cooper University Health Care. This partnership ensures that the event not only celebrates the military community but also provides valuable resources and support for their well-being.

A Day of Camaraderie and Celebration

As riders navigate the scenic routes, they will have access to designated rest stops, bike repairs, and technical support, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience. Volunteers will be on hand to guide and assist participants throughout the day, creating a seamless and memorable event.

Empowering the Military Community
