The Ewing Green Team and Ewing Recreation Department invite you to show your patriot fervor and Ride the Revolution with them at their Annual Fall Spin Bike Ride on Saturday, September 26, 2026.
This year’s ride will be held in celebration of Ewing’s quiet but meaningful role in our nation’s history. Join them in their Ewing 250: Crossroads of the Revolution Bike Ride and retrace Washington’s historic Christmas march in 1776 from Washington Crossing, NJ to Trenton.
Riders will bike up from the river at Washington Crossing Park to reach Bear Tavern Road. Going right on Bear Tavern they will continue, crossing Jacob’s Creek, and continuing on past Trenton Mercer Airport until they reach the crossroads at Birmingham Park. This is where Washington split his forces for a planned two-pronged attack on the Hessian forces in Trenton. They will follow the path of the troops who went down Sullivan Way, through Cadwalader Park and onto State Street until they reach Barrack Street in Trenton. The end point of the ride will be the Old Barracks Museum. Following a brief stop, riders will then make their way back to the Canal Path in Cadwalader Park which they will take back to Washington Crossing Park.
This will be a 19-mile round trip with police escort, guest speakers, rest stops and refreshments along the way. Map link.
The deadline for registration is Sept 20th to guarantee a t-shirt. The Ewing Green Team will attempt to provide tee-shirts for late registrants (registrations received after the 20th), but they may not be received in time for the ride.
