The Wildwoods, NJ – May 23, 2011 – Bike riders and fundraisers from throughout the region make their way back through the Wildwoods to Morey’s Piers on Saturday, June 18 during the 13th Annual ALS Express Bike Ride.

The event’s routes include a 10-mile, 25-mile, 50-mile and 75-mile ride through southern New Jersey with each route starting at a location with all of the routes ending at Morey’s Piers in Wildwood, NJ.
As the “finish line” for all of the event’s bike routes, Morey’s Piers will give all registered riders two complimentary Amusement and Water Park passes. Morey’s will also host a private beach party at the Rendezvous Beach Pavilion on Mariner’s Landing Pier, located at Schellenger Avenue and the Boardwalk.
