LHT 8th Annual Full Moon Bike Ride

Saturday September 30, 2023
7:00 PM - 10:00 PM

The Lawrence Hopewell Trail's Full Moon Bike Ride is an Out of this World experience you won't want to miss.

Bike in the moonlight on a six-mile loop in Mercer Meadows Park. (Ride it as many times as you like in two hours!) Decorate your bike, dance to the music of a techno DJ, and enjoy fanciful lighting, glow-in-the-dark features and live music along the route. Make s'mores around the campfire once you're done.

This fundraising ride to benefit the Lawrence Hopewell Trail begins with a special sendoff shortly after the moon rises above Rosedale Lake in Hopewell, New Jersey. It is for riders ages 12 and up, and children must be accompanied by adults. Helmets are required for riders under 18 but are highly encouraged for all. Bike lights (front and rear) are strongly suggested. The trail surface is pavement and compact stone, and the course is moderate.

Registration and sign-in begins at 7 p.m. Use the entrance to Mercer Meadows Park on Federal City Road, between Blackwell Road and Old Mill Road. 2023 Full Moon Bike Ride t-shirts are only sold with pre-registration.
