Start	Pace/Terrain/ Miles/Climb(ft)	Starting Point	Leader	Tour/Signup	Average Climb (ft/mile)	Leader Comments	Tour Description	Tour Notes	Attendees	Status
10:00am	C/C+/36/1566	Summer Road Park, Readington	Arnie Cohen	1119 - Lower Case	44	Join me as I celebrate the 78th anniversary of my birth. The weather is expected to be in the high 60's with snacks and beers at Readington Brewery to follow. What a perfect way to celebrate!	This is the same tour as 288 but turns on Summer from Lazy Brook without crossing Rt. 202 an additional two times and going on Old York Road. This tour traverses a few new roads, hills are unavoidable but moderate and can easily be handled by slower riders. Original tour by Chaim Schreiber and shortened by Jan Gorban (2017).	Food stops: Ringoes - Carousel Deli - mile 18	Arnie Cohen(C), Andy Milstein(C), Les Garber(C), Dennis McDermott(C), Kerry Haselton(C), Jeff Sperling(C), Tracy Brown(C), John Delaney(S), Elizabeth Jennison(C), Jim Barnish, Fred Bennett(C), Larry Thomas(C), Michael Calderaro(C), Joe DeCagna(C), Mark Baumeister(C), Glenn Pierson, Dennis Budnik, Mark Schwartz, Lynne Avery(C), Paulo Piedade(C), Barbara Delaney(D), Maurice Alvarez(B)	scheduled
10:05am	D+/C+/36/1566	Summer Road Park, Readington	Manuel Coelho	1119 - Lower Case	44	I will sweep Arnie's ride right to the Readington Brewery.	This is the same tour as 288 but turns on Summer from Lazy Brook without crossing Rt. 202 an additional two times and going on Old York Road. This tour traverses a few new roads, hills are unavoidable but moderate and can easily be handled by slower riders. Original tour by Chaim Schreiber and shortened by Jan Gorban (2017).	Food stops: Ringoes - Carousel Deli - mile 18	Manuel Coelho, mark brumbaugh(D+), Gaye Swanson(C), Muffin Williams(NA), Tom Williams(C)	scheduled
10:30am	C+/C+/49/2330	Hope Park & Ride	Tom Sterk	248 - Hope-Day Trip To Bangor	48	Short coffee stop in Bangor. Looks like Renee's in Bangor is permanently closed, sorry Bill! There is a Sunoco station with a convenience store at mile 22 that may suffice. Or there are options in Belvedere, right before the last, big climb.	Ride thru Portland, NJ to quaint Bangor, PA, for lunch. This ride has very little traffic and rides along roads seldom travelled by the Freewheelers, but there are some pretty good hills to climb along the way.	Food stops: Bangor (Renee's Diner - slow service - mile 23, other options in Bangor), Belvidere (mile 36)	Tom Sterk, Bill Kolano(NA), Eric Lavitsky(B), John Parsekian, Joe Felker(B)	scheduled
5:00pm	C+/C+/28/1222	Kingwood Park	Dennis Budnik	1396 - Rural Roads of Hunterdon County CANCELED	44	Join me for my training ride/s through beautiful and quite Hunterdon County. This is for "C" riders who want to take it up a notch (not for sightseeing). I use this route for endurance training and hope to continue throughout the warmer weather hoping we get stronger over the season. This is a "drop ride" (I'm not waiting). We leave at 5:05PM. No T.T. Bikes. If you run tubeless and get a flat, you are on your own (I don't want to come home dripping in tire sealant). Rain, strong winds cancels (I will cancel before 2PM that day). Peace! dB		Kingwood Park has bathrooms in the building/overhang and there is usually a porta-potty (even in winter when the bathrooms are locked). Plenty of picnic tables also. The route is quiet: Wooded areas, open fields and farms with very little cars. Rest stops at Sergeantsville General Store (mile 9) and Dunkin Donuts (mile 14.7).		canceled
