Sussex Cyclist members Denny Shook, Steve Grandinali and Jim Futrell rode in the 37th Annual Ben to the Shore on Sunday. Steve Klein rode too but never saw him for a pic. 65 miles from Philly to Atlantic City NJ, to raise money for Families Behind the Badge Children's Foundation helping survivors of First Responders who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Even 100 degree heat doesn’t stop the DelDot/Sussex Cyclist Bicycle Safety Checkpoints. Big THANKS to Ray Grabiak, Steve Grandinali, Luis Mercado, Dennis Schwandtner and Wayne Spitzner , for joining John Fiori of Del/Dot braving the heat for this great program.

The following appeared in today's Cape Gazette:
The Wheels for Meals Jack O’Hollaren Annual Bike Ride was held June 21. More than 200 registrants rode courses ranging from 10 to 100 miles, beginning and ending at Hudson Fields near Milton.
Thanks to the riders, more than 50 volunteers and many generous sponsors, the event is estimated to have raised close to $15,000 for Meals on Wheels Lewes-Rehoboth.
Sussex Cyclists were a big help in developing and marking the various routes as well as providing support and gear on the road.
Meals on Wheels Lewes-Rehoboth delivers 115,000 meals a year to about 325 homebound area residents.

Posted on 6/26: Thanks to Heidi Lerch, Jim Prettyman and Pat Miller for volunteering at tonight’s Bicycle Safety Checkpoint in Rehoboth Beach. There are still 7 checkpoints on the calendar, come out and support our club and this great event promoting bicycle safety.
Posted on 6/20: Thanks to tonight’s volunteers John Strauss , Jim Prettyman and Kathy Imhoff at tonight’s Bicycle Safety Checkpoint held at Lutheran Church of our Savior in Rehoboth Beach . There’s eight checkpoints left for the season. Please come out and support this great program.
Attached are some photos from Saturday's Wheels 4 Meals event for posting on the website. It was a very successful day despite the extreme heat. We had over 200 registered riders, which was the most ever and almost double last year! Bottom line ... we raised a significant amount of money for a charity that helps many housebound seniors in the Lewes/Rehoboth area. Many thanks to all the riders and volunteers from Sussex Cyclists who made it such a successful event!

Today’s Wheels for Meals Jack O'Hollaren Annual Bike Ride was a huge success. Sussex Cyclists was very well represented. I had someone ask me how many members rode today because everywhere he looked there was someone in a SC jersey. Great day, great cause, great club. Huge thanks to Mike Savage and Gil Hofheimer for all their hard work making this the success that it was.
