The
South
Jersey Wheelmen
is a cycling club that was organized in 1979. It's
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
extend throughout the regions of Cumberland, Gloucester and
Salem
counties New Jersey.

Summertime
weekly fun rides |
SJW
Convention |
During
the summer months, the club organizes weekly rides every
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Saturday. Besides being
posted on the website, the rides are posted in advance
in the 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. |
Our Convention
is an organized biking vacation. Included is a brief
get together to discuss club concerns supported
with plenty
of popcorn and beverages. This year we are trying something
very different. We are going camping sort of, in
a large rustic but clean "modern" log cabin.
Walt Pettigrew and Al Jackson are are doing the main
planning with help from others.
Don't dismiss this as not your style. We have ideas
that will accommodate everyone's needs. Do NOT miss
out on this unique great time. Click above to read
details. |
