    Welcome to the 2026 Revolutionary Ramble, our 17th anniversary ride. The Ramble is organized by the Morris Area Freewheelers Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization; since our inception we

    have raised in excess of $375,000. Our primary beneficiaries (two-thirds of proceeds) are local area volunteer first aid and rescue squads, with the remaining funds supporting various bike-related youth and advocacy groups, including Girls in Gear, the NJ Interscholastic Cycling League and the NJ Bike & Walk Coalition.

    This year the Morris Area Freewheelers and the Princeton Free Wheelers bicycle clubs are partnering to support the Ramble.

    After its popular introduction last year, we will again offer the opportunity for our participants to get actively involved in our fundraising efforts for the 2026 Ramble. Using bikereg’s sister-site pledgereg, you will be able to create a personal fundraising page and ask your friends and family to support your ride and our causes. As a special ’Thank You’, all participants who help us raise a minimum of $350 will be eligible to have their registration fee refunded.

Finish strong with a 3.1-mile out-and-back run along Lakeside Blvd to Maxim Glen and back—where a big finish line celebration awaits.
