Last chance to register online for Sunday’s MS Tappan Zee Bridge bike ride today at 5:00pm! There will be limited day of event registration. Click here for more information.

This ride starts at Kraft Foods in Tarrytown and heads out across the Tappan Zee Bridge. Riders have a choice of turning back at the Nyack Alliance Theological Seminary and riding about 15 miles and the TZ bridge twice. Or you can head north MSbikeBlog003on Route 9W towards the Bear Mountain Bridge and complete a 60 mile loop back to Karft Foods.

One of the events new sponsors this year, New Leaf Brands of Orangeburg. Their founder and President, Eric Skae will ride the event with 36 other team members. They have done a great job of fundraising with over $ 8,000 raised so far.

“As a locally based business that is providing healthy beverages to local establishments as well as more widely recognized convenience stores such as 7-Eleven in the tri-state area, we saw the MS Bike Ride as a great opportunity to give back to our community and raise awareness of the fight against MS, Skae said. We intend to use this as an example of how we can work with the MS society on a national level and participate and sponsor additional events in the future.”

Looking forward to seeing everyone out there Sunday.
