Calling all Jersey Shore area cycling enthusiasts! The American Stroke Association, a division of the American Heart Association, invites everyone from beginners to experienced riders to participate in a fun fitness event – and support a great cause. Community and business teams are forming now for CycleNation New Jersey.

The stationary-bike cycling event – which raises funds for stroke and heart research – will be held on Thursday, June 5, kicking off at 5:30 p.m., at Crest Pointe Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center, 1515 Hulse Road in Point Pleasant. Riders will enjoy views of the beautiful Point Pleasant Canal while they pedal, access to hydration stations and light snacks, and a post-ride “happy hour.”

Advance registration is required, and there are minimum fundraising requirements for individuals and teams. Visit the CycleNation web page for event details and registration, email nnjcyclenation@heart.org or call 201-518-1966 for more information.
