There are so many ways you can contribute your time to our Rally! Much of the preparation for the Rally starts several days before the Rally which means you can contribute and still ride the Rally if you are registered. The Sign-Up positions are assigned for August 28, 29 and 30.    All volunteers are recognized by earning incentive points and an invite to the volunteer party held Thursday, September 3rd.

We are still looking to fill two key positions:

Saturday Lead: Manage and set  up all the tents, tables, etc.  according to the Marketplace design.

Cleanup Lead: Clean up is an integral position for the Rally.  Supervise your volunteers to pack up all the tents, tables etc., and load the rental truck to bring everything back to the storage unit to be unpacked.  You can still ride the Rally, if registered as long as you are back for duty. This position requires the ability to carry heavier loads.

Show your club spirit by wearing the two most current Club jerseys.  If you order now you will receive the jersey in time to wear it for the Ramapo Rally. The store will be open through July 7.

Quick question: are you following BTCNJ on socials yet?

Because if not… you’re missing some good stuff. Ride photos, familiar faces, new routes, coffee stops, post-ride snacks, (offical announcements) … and probably a lot more sitting in your camera roll right now. It’s basically the group ride, just in between rides.

We’re on Facebook and Instagram—and it’s not just for scrolling, it’s for you.

Take a photo? Post it.
Great ride? Share it.
Found a perfect coffee stop? Definitely post it.

No need for perfection—just real rides and real moments.
Follow along, jump in, and don’t be shy. Yes, your coffee photo counts.
