original purpose was to serve the needs of the recreational
and touring cyclist, and it continues with that purpose today.
The club is based in the Vineland area, but organized rides

Summertime
weekly fun rides
During the summer
months, the club usually organizes weekly rides. Check

the rides are posted in advance in our newsletter: The
Spoke 'n Word. The distance and difficulty of each ride
are noted and an effort is made to serve each member's
ability.
