On Behalf of Cycle 4 STEM, I hope you will consider joining in this year's ride.

We plan to push off from BernKastel-Kues along the Mosel River from 18 July - 20 July 2025. The ride is at least 150 miles broken out into three days at a rather leisurely pace. This year's ride will differ from previous years as we embark on a new route promising beautiful views while we cruise along the Mosel. Families are invited to stay at the campsite, we can work out those logistics later. Military personnel are eligible for PTDY status without being charged any leave. Our Chapter President can provide each rider with an MFR as requested.

Riders are asked to raise at least $250. This helps cover the food, camping, and other fees associated with the ride.

Finally, we are looking for volunteers on the committee to split the workload and put this together. If you would like to volunteer, feel free to reach out to me. Thank you again and hope to hear from you soon.
