  22nd Year!   Inspite of the new name and start location, this is still the same basic route as the former Bridgeton Zoo Century with some route inprovements and additions. Parking, registration and the ride begin at Green Branch Park, Pittsgrove, New Jersey. The route is mostly on the scenic rural roads of Salem, Cumberland and Gloucester Counties. The terrain is flat to slightly rolling - good for any level rider! Ride it fast or slow, the choice is yours. Along the way there are a few stores and delis on or near the route.

Start anytime between 8 am to 10 am and ride at your own pace. The first half has two route choices, a 27 mile loop and a 52 mile loop. The 52 mi loop takes you through Alloway, Quinton and historic Greenwich. These loops no longer go to the Bridgeton Zoo. The second half has a 24 mile and a 49 mile loop. Combined with the first half this gives you a 76 or 101 mile option for the day. The 49 mile loop takes you north to Mullica Hill and back. This loop has some challenging hill climbs between miles 20 to 35. All loops bring you back to Green Branch Park where we will have fruit, baked goods, hot dogs and plenty of liquids waiting for you under a cool pavilion. We will have two water stops on each of the 52&49 mile loops and one on each of the 27&24 mile loops.

Cue sheets, painted road markings and sag wagon services are provided. In addition to food, the entry fee includes a give away item. In past years these have included sew-on patches, high quality water bottles, first aid kits, and tube patch kits. This year we are considering several new items. Fee for South Jersey Wheelmen members is $10.00 which includes the give away item. Club T-Shirts are  available for purchase at the ride. Come out and enjoy!
