I am a 16 year old from Cranbury NJ, currently working on my Eagle Scout Service project. For my project, I created an event called the Tour de Cranbury. The Tour de Cranbury is a one day biking event focusing on community engagement and fitness (through cycling) in Cranbury. There are three rides, each catered towards different levels of riders. The "Tour" route is the most advanced, and is most likely what riders from the PFW would do. I have left a link to our website, where you can find out all of the details. (Attached below) I am reaching out to ask you if you could share this event with the members of the PFW, and ride leaders. Even though the event itself may not be enough mileage for many of the riders in the PFW, ride leaders could incorporate it into their rides, and then go out after the event is done. The "Tour" ride is only 10 miles, so it would most likely take 35 minutes for experienced riders, after that, they could go on their normal rides. Additionally, the other two rides in the event, the "All Skill Levels", and the "Trikes" ride could be a good fit for families of club members to participate in, see the website for more details on those. Please consider sharing this event with the members of the club, and ride leaders, and if you have any questions please reach out. Thanks for all the help. Check in will begin at 8:00am for a 9:00am start. Website - https://cranburychamberofcommerce.com/tourdecranbury Sincerely, Tyler Cenci Troop 52 Eagle Scout Candidate
