MS BIKE RACE
MS BIKE RACE
Saturday, September 27 & Sunday, 28th
The 2025 Bike MS: City to Shore Ride is just around the corner and will take place in your neighborhood on Saturday, September 27 & Sunday, 28th. In just one weekend nearly 4,200 riders will fulfill their pledge to raise over $4 million dollars towards providing programs and assistance to more than 15,000 of your neighbors and their families in the Greater Delaware Valley who are living every day with Multiple Sclerosis, an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system that disrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body. Symptoms of MS vary from person to person and range from numbness and tingling, to walking difficulties, fatigue, dizziness, pain, depression, blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are leading to better understanding and moving us closer to a world free of MS.
During our two-day event our riders are supported by over 700 volunteers, including folks from your community. These unsung heroes include police officers, motorcycle route support, bike mechanics, communication specialists, emergency medical teams, rest stop volunteers and many others who will help provide a safe and successful ride, and who will work hard to minimize the impact of the ride on our host communities including any inconvenience to you. To see the route and schedule, visit Ride with GPS Event Page with Route Listing.
We greatly appreciate your patience this season during the 46th annual Bike MS: City to Shore Ride. If you have the opportunity, please cheer us on as we pass through your neighborhood, it will truly make a difference. And if you have the time and are so inclined, we have a need for volunteers to help make the ride a success. To register as a volunteer or cyclist visit www.BikeMS.org or call the Greater Delaware Valley Chapter office at 1-800-445-BIKE. You can also learn more about Bike MS: City to Shore and the mission of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society by visiting this site or calling the chapter office. On behalf of those living with MS as well as everyone involved with the Ride, we thank you for your understanding and support of the National MS Society and the 2025 Bike MS: City to Shore Ride.

Black bears by nature tend to be wary of people. However, if you encounter a black bear in your neighborhood or outdoors while hiking or camping,
follow these common-sense safety tips.
DON’T
Do not feed bears.
Do not approach bears. Especially feeding bears, which will aggressively defend their food.
Do not run from bears. Running may trigger a chase response.
Do not make direct eye contact. Bears may perceive this as a challenge.
DO
Remain calm and slowly back away.
Make the bear aware of you.
Be loud: speak in an assertive voice, yell, sing, or clap your hands. If available, bang pots and pans or use an airhorn.
Make yourself look big. Wave your arms. Hold your jacket above your head.
If you’re in a group, stay together and perform these actions together.
Make sure the bear has an escape route. If a bear enters your home, prop all the doors open.
If the bear doesn’t leave, move to a secure area.
If your family lives in an area frequented by black bears, create a “Bear Plan” for children, with an escape route and planned use of whistles and air horns.
Black bear attacks are extremely rare. If a black bear does attack, fight back! Aim for the snout and/or eyes. Use anything at hand: (knife, sticks, rocks, binoculars, backpack or kick the bear).
-Report black bear damage or nuisance behavior to the DEP’s 24-hour, toll-free hotline at 1-877-WARN DEP (1-877-927-6337).
