Citizens of Atlantic and northern Cape May counties are familiar with this ride. It's important, though, to always plan accordingly so you're not delayed too much. Bikers are expected to travel through Mays Landing and beyond on their way to Ocean City, so several roads within Hamilton Township are expected to be impacted.

Per an alert to local residents from Nixle.com, the following roads will be part of the trek:

• Leipzig Ave (from Galloway Township) to Almond Ave

• Cologne Ave (from Almond Ave to Denmead Drive)

• Black Horse Pike (Rt. 322) at the intersection with

Cologne Ave

• Route 40 at Dr. Dennis Foreman Drive • Rt. 40 at

Babcock Road

• Somers Point/ML Road (CR 559) at Babcock Road

Locals shouldn't have to worry about too many streets being completely closed down, but should be aware that the section of road 559 off of Ocean Height Avenue. Local residents will be able to get through, but the southbound lane will be closed for all other traffic on Saturday.
