Summer in the Crest

Hey Dad! Wanna Go for a Bike Ride?
Come join us for the third annual Wheelin’ The Wildwoods Bike Tour, a fun, non-competitive event that offers the opportunity to experience the Wildwoods through bike rides of 26 or 10 miles.

This year’s Wheelin’ The Wildwoods Bike Tour is being held on Fathers’ Day morning (Sunday, June 15), helping make this a true family event. Riders will get to experience ocean views, wetlands, historic Cape May, the intercoastal waterway and the world-famous Wildwood Boardwalk.

Race-day registration begins at 7 a.m. The 26-mile race will begin at 8 a.m., with the 10-mile race going off at 8:30 a.m. A free post-event party will begin at 10 a.m. The start and finish of the race will take place at Wisteria & NJ Aves.

All participants will be treated to a wide array of amenities, including a Wheelin’ The Wildwoods T-shirt, entertainment, food and family fun. Registration forms can be downloaded online from www.wildwoodcrest.org/dept_recreation_htm. They are also available at the Crest Pier, or you can request to receive a registration form by mail by calling (609) 523-0202. Online registration can be completed at www.raceforum.com/wildwoods.

YOGA ON THE LAKE BEGINS JULY 1
The Wildwood Crest Recreation Department will offer free evening yoga classes this summer on the beautiful shores of Sunset Lake at Miami Road. Classes will be held every Tuesday and Thursday evening from 7:30 p.m. to dusk beginning July 1 and concluding Aug. 28.

Recreation leader Bobi Watson will direct an eclectic array of styles, calming the mind, focusing energy and enhancing the yogic journey, while simultaneously offering the opportunity to enjoy a twilight sunset on the beautiful Sunset Lake bay front, one of the few spots in Cape May County where the sun sets over water.

This free-of-charge class will bring people together to learn, strengthen and integrate various yoga techniques, including Savasana (total relaxation), sometimes under the stars. Participants are encouraged to join the program for one class or for the entire summer season. Participants are
asked to arrive at least five minutes before class time in order for classes to start on time. Participants should wear comfortable clothing and should also bring a mat or a blanket. Call 523- 0202 or 522-0084 for further information.
