The NJ Alphorn Ensemble performed at the international bike race in Basking Ridge, NJ which was sponsored by Ricola. Check out the video of this unusual event of a combination of Alphorn music and bike racing. The racers cycled for 40 laps around the town, and every time they raced by, we played a song on the Alphorn. We were as exhausted as the racers and we also counted the laps! We play Amazing Grace on the video.
