PATCO AND THE BIKE MS
 Join cyclists of all ages and cycling abilities for the challenge of your choice with several route options. Two of the five route options start and finish is the Woodcrest Station. Named by Bicycling Magazine as the "Best Cycling Getaway in NJ," the Bike MS: City to Shore Ride promises to be the best cycling experience on the east coast. The ride is fully supported with catered rest stops, bike support and SAG transportation. SAG stands for "Support and Gear". This van duo will pick up cyclists and their bikes along the route if they can't ride anymore. Invite your family and friends to cheer as you cross the finish line on the first day in beautiful Ocean City or, if you're truly adventurous the optional second day ends at Woodcrest. Enjoy a wonderful evening stroll on the boardwalk and dine at one of the shore's many fine eateries. This is not just a ride, but an experience. The sense of accomplishment that you'll feel as you cross the finish line can only be matched by the difference you'll be making in the lives of people affected by MS.
