Month: September 2022

To all ride leaders,

Attached below is the latest ride leader report.  The 2021-2022 year ends this Friday and to earn the ride leader award you need 12 rides and cancelled rides count 1/2.  Thanks for a great riding year and looking forward to a great Fall riding season.

Thanks,

Manny

To all MAFW riders,

FALL PICNIC OCT 2

Just a reminder that the fall picnic is Oct 2 at Pickell Park.  Be sure to sign up via Eventbrite and then sign up for a ride on ride schedule.  Please arrive 30 mins before your ride so you can drop off any food you are bringing and prepare for the ride.

FALL FOLIAGE WEEKEND

On our website under Other Organization Events is listed Fall Foliage Weekend on weekend of Oct 21-23 at Hanover/Gettysburg, Pa. run by Bicycle Club of Philadelphia.  In the past members of MAFW have attended this great event and members of MAFW are signed up for this years event.  Check out Other Organization Events on our website for more info.  There are still openings and my understanding is BCP has reserved 2 hotels for this event.  If interested you can contact me since I may be looking for a roommate.

I will list this event on our schedule so please sign up so we know who from MAFW is going.

SEAGULL CENTURY

On Oct 8 is the Seagull Century and is listed on our schedule.  After registering for this event with Seagull Century please signup on our schedule so maybe the group can get together at Salisbury.

OTHER ORGANIZATION EVENTS

Be sure to check Other Organization Events for other events.

Thanks,

Manny

WHITE OAK PARK-There is a big event at White Oak Park on Sep 24 so please do not schedule any rides on that date.

LIMECREST-Feel free to start scheduling rides from Limecrest on the weekends.

OCT 2 PICNIC-There are a couple of picnic rides that need ride leaders.  Please let me know if you want to lead.  Also if you have suggestions for alternate rides let me know.

MADISONVILLE ROAD DETOUR-The bridge on Madisonville road between Basking Ridge and New Vernon is under construction and closed.  This bridge is on many, many rides that loop around the swamp and head back to Loantaka.   From Basking Ridge, the detour would be to stay straight on N Maple, R onto 202 north, R on either Bailey’s Mill, Glen Alpin or Sand Spring, back to Lee’s Hill road. Thanks to Merritt for this detour suggestion.

Thanks, Manny

Sorry to bother you again but I got an inquiry that the Oct picnic rides are not shown on the calendar.  What you need to do is expand the calendar beyond Oct 2 since schedule only shows ~2 weeks.   After logging in go to “Rides” > “Schedule”.  Select small calendar to right of “End Date” and select the date you want and then select “List”.  You can also see past rides using the calendar next to “Start Date”.  When using the calendar be sure to not only select a month but also a date.

FALL PICNIC-MAFW Fall Picnic will be held on Sunday Oct 2 at Pickell Park, Whitehouse Station.   Picnic rides have been posted so you can start signing up for rides.  Don’t forget that you still need to sign up for the picnic via EventBrite.  When you arrive at Pickell Park just a reminder that you need to arrive at least 30 mins before start of your ride.  Rides start at 9am and leave every 5 mins.

OTHER ORGANIZATION EVENTS-On our website we list “Other Organization Events”.  If you have special event ride you want listed let us know.  Next weekend Sat Sept 10 is the Sourland Spectacular.  Parking is at Montgomery High School and registration is across the street at senior citizen building.  If you registered for the ride recommend signing up on our schedule so we know who is going.  Bob Warren and I have signed up as ride leaders for this event but you are not obligated to go with me or Bob.

Sincerely,

Manny
