| 8:30am | C/C+/52/2493 | Denville Savage Rd | Pete Aldrich | 1317 - Denville to Garrett Mt | 48 | This will my first time doing this ride and I will be leading at the low end of C pace. I've picked a Sunday morning so that the traffic may be lighter. As we cross into Paterson we'll make a stop to see the Great Falls. Afterwards we'll head over to Garrett Mountain and from there head back to Denville. There are options for lunch along the route. | Pete Aldrich(C), Bill Slezak(C), warrenpfinnerty | scheduled | ||

Fast kids are welcome to practice their A pace. | Pleasant new way to Lambertville and and then up to Stockton on the PA side. Ride on the shady and quiet roads we love the most along with great views of the beautiful old and new homes as well as the canal on the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware River.

| 9:30am | C/C/36/1520 | Allison Park, Englewood Cliffs, NJ | Jay Marowitz | 939 - New York Parks & Islands | 42 | Looks like Sunday is going to be an ideal riding day.. mid 70's and sunny. There's nothing like a nice day cycling in New York. An outdoor lunch on Roosevelt Island after touring it plus the tram ride back to Manhattan is a bit different from the 'same old..' If you have questions about the ride, email me. I will be updating the cue sheet and Garmin files to reflect the new GWB crossing bike path. I expect to complete that by Saturday. I strongly recommend that you print and bring a cue sheet even though you may have a Garmin. The C-pace will be 'modified' to fit the NY cycling scene. Don't forget your cameras and bring pleanty of 'film'. | A NY tour consisting of 3 islands, 4 bridges, and a tram. We visit Inwood Hill Park, Randals & Wards Island, Roosevelt Island, and Central Park in Manhattan. The tram takes us from Roosevelt Island to Manhattan with a short ride to Central Park. Typically, we lunch on Roosevelt Island with a great view of the Ed Koch (59th St.) Bridge, Manhattan, and Queens. We'll tour the new Four Freedoms Park which is a tribute to F.D.R. You will have to carry your bike up and down modest stairs on the RFK bridge and the tram destination in Manhattan. Almost any kind of 2-wheeled bike will work on this tour, e.g. road, hybrid, mountain. Most of the ride is on greenways, bridges, parks, or marked bike lanes. Central Park is closed to cars on weekends. Bring money or credit cards for the tram and food. Parking at the start point, Allison Park, is free. There's a new, in 2022, Nellie Bly Monument (an American investigative journalist widely known for faking insanity in order to be admitted to the asylum on Blackwell Island - today's Roosevelt Island - so she could report on the horrors there). There is a public rest room near the entrance to the 4 Freedoms Park as well as in the R.I. food establishments.- Ride by Jay Marowitz. | Jay Marowitz(C), Bill Gundersdorf(D+), Marty Pratt(C), Jon Eiseman(C), Cecile Eiseman, Paul Malinowski(C+) | scheduled |
