The race starts at Monmouth University and is a 25-mile journey along the Jersey Shore. It will be a ride through beach towns such as Deal and Belmar. The 1,700 participants of the ride will proudly include some the most avid cyclists from The Oxford Princeton Programme.
As of today there is no cure for MS. The Oxford Princeton Programme is proud to sponsor the 2012 Bike MS Coast the Coast Ride and is hoping with their participation to raise awareness of this debilitating disease. Help us in the fight against MS!
