In 2006 Blue Knights NJ 2 started the Polar Pig Winter Riding Program. The premise is simple, "its cold outside, but we still ride". The original concept was to encourage rider turnout during our weekly off-season rides. The turnout exceeded our expectations. Because of its tremendous success, it is now our offical winter riding season program and is open to all Blue Knights members regardless of Chapter. For the most part we meet at Flapjax in Wallington every Sunday at 8:30am for breakfast and we ride at 10am unless the ride calls for a change in plans.
