We ride for the joy it gives us, the camaraderie it offers, and the exercise that keeps us spinning in good health. Team Evesham has a long history of also riding for others and our members raise tens of thousands of dollars each and every year to support the needs of those around us. Consider participating in some of this year’s great charity rides.

July 11th: Ride for Olivia supporting local Camp No Worries. Thank you to all the riders who participated this year! We had a great turnout with over 180 of you and while the day was hot, the ride was a great success! This ride has been a centerpiece of Team Evesham’s riding season and supports a great cause in Camp No Worries which helps kids dealing with the challenges of cancer. A big thank you to all our ride sponsors, including Ott’s who served us a fabulous recovery lunch!

September 11th: Foster 100. An annual favorite, the Foster 100 will take riders from Camden to Cape May and raises funds to provide vital service dogs to support those who have supported us, our Veterans. Join a platoon, put in the miles, and support a great organization (Foster 100 Registration Link).

September 19th: ACS. The ACS Bike-a-thon brings people together to honor cancer survivors, spread the word about reducing cancer risk, and raise money to help the American Cancer Society save lives. Jump on board to Atlantic City to support those impacted by cancer (ACS Registration Link).

September 25-26th: MS City-to-Shore. The MS ride sets out to change the world for those affected by MS. City-to-Shore is an experience driven by passion, camaraderie and desire to make a difference. Ride from Philadelphia (or other starting points) to Ocean City and consider making the return trip the next day. It’ll be a ride to remember for a great cause (MS City-to-Shore Registration Link).

More…There are even more riding opportunities out there. See our Other rides of interest page for more information.

So join your Teammates for some great riding, some great experiences, and to help these organizations achieve great things for our community and those around us.

As I walked out of my house kicking myself for not warming up the car on this frigid Sunday morning, all I could think was, “It’s too cold for this.” I sat in the Rastelli’s parking lot with the seat warmer and heat on and I looked at the temperature…37 degrees. “It’s too cold for this.” More and more teammates showed up and I got out of my warm car donned in numerous layers. “It’s too cold for this.”

We had a smaller group than in the past few weeks; many probably had the same thoughts I did. But once we got going and started chatting with our friends, laughing and smiling, the cold didn’t matter anymore. I’m glad I didn’t give into my creature comforts. Scott Downie once again gave us two awesome, scenic routes and we had a great ride. The lessons I learned today? Go anyway. Don’t let the cold get to you. The connections you’ll make with your friends will always be worth it.

In life, it’s not where you go, but who you ride with.

This Saturday, join us at the memorial service for our friend, Dave Bennis to celebrate his life. It will be held at the Marlton Field House from 2-4pm. [NOTE: Please be considerate to the health and safety of those around you when you attend. It is imperative that we all wear masks and maintain a social distance of 6 feet or more.]

Sunday, Oct 25th, we will host the Ian Cameron Memorial Ride to remember another friend who touched so many lives. We’ve invited our fellow cyclists from Summit and Cynergy to ride with us that morning. Please join us at Rastelli’s.

See you next week!

Everybody loves a parade! On Sunday, July 4th, Team Evesham members suited up and started the Evesham fourth of July parade on Main Street after our regular ride! Adoring crowds, waving fans, it was just like leTour…at a slightly slower speed. Thank you to all who participated. It was a good time had by all!

Happy Independence Day!
