This’ll be my longest ride this year so will be pacing myself. 

A scenic ride with low traffic that travels to Hopewell in Mercer County. One long climb up Wertsville Rd.; otherwise, terrain is easy rolling. NOTE: Similar to tour #905, but starting from Pluckemin/Bed-1.CAUTION: Uncontrolled crossing of Rt 202 (mile 12.5) Food stops: Hopewell (mile 32) 4: Maurice Alvarez (B), Wendy Chan (B+), Michael Fabijanic, Seth CohenScheduled
9:25amB/C/39/1587Pluckemin (Bedminster I)Michael Cloidt873 - Pluckemin-Neshanic-Wawa41

I am putting this out there to pull some of the C+/B riders from Tracy's ride to open up room.  So if you are an irascible (or can name your favorite from the Jan 1951 photo) or will be in the faster group on the other ride, join in.  B listed so no official sweep but some regroup.  C ride behind us if you get dropped.  Some rain potential so we will watch for any Friday am changes.   Maurice has a banger listed if you want to go long B.

9:35amD+/C/39/1587Pluckemin (Bedminster I)Michael Chenkin873 - Pluckemin-Neshanic-Wawa41

Backing up Tracy's ride for those looking for a more relaxed pace or those who are not yet fully conditioned for a longer ride on a warmer day.  Come join me before the temps get cool again next week.

My respectful expectations:

  1. I will sweep as per the Ride Leader manual.
  2. I expect at least 1 person to ride with me, especially since I have a cardiac condition. 
  3. I prefer that all who sign up commit to riding within the club’s average speed for the posted pace and prefer you not sign up if you plan to exceed the maximum average speed for the posted pace. Anyone who chooses to ride faster than the maximum average speed for the posted pace will be considered to be on your own unless you stop to regroup periodically. 
  4. Please be able to maintain the minimum average speed for the posted pace, however, no one will be dropped. 
  5. No one rides alone. 
  6. Keep an eye on your fellow riders: bikes break, accidents happen, medical emergencies happen.
