Great news for the Ride!
Governor Murphy Announces Loosening of COVID-19 Restrictions

Governor Phil Murphy today announced the easing of restrictions for a variety of activities and higher outdoor capacity limits, effective May 10. The changes, which include higher outdoor gathering limits, higher large venue outdoor capacities, higher maximum capacities for private catered events, and more, come as COVID-19 metrics are on the decline and as more New Jerseyans continue to receive COVID-19 vaccines.

The outdoor gathering limit will be raised to 500 persons from 200 persons. COVID-19 metrics will continue to be evaluated with the hope of raising the limit again, perhaps considerably, prior to Memorial Day.

What does this mean? It means get your bike out and start training for our 11th annual ride! Register at www.ridetofighthunger.com
