| 6:00am | C/C/22/772 | Loantaka-South St., Morris Twp. | Elizabeth Jennison | 859 - Loantaka-Hickory Tavern-Great Swamp | 35 | Sizzling summer temperatures in the afternoon. At least temperate for the early morning; we will be done before it hits 80 degrees. Anyone who is time crunched can just turn right at the Meyersville Circle and save a few minutes. Last time we rode this route I finished at exactly 7:30 am doing the full route. | Follows familiar roads with a slight variation. Leaves Loantaka Park to the right, follows Woodland, Green Village, Southern Boulevard, Fairmont, Meyersville, uphill to a left turn onto Long Hill Road and left on Hickory Tavern for a nice downhill into the Swamp and home to the barn (I mean park), following Spring Valley instead of the usual Dickson's Mill, etc. |

| 8:30am | C/C/37/934 | Colonial Park, Lot C in the Winter, Howe Athletic Center in the Summer | Andy Milstein | 1043 - Leave the Gun Take the Cannoli | 25 | Early Start to beat the heat. Also one of the club's flattest rides, and one of the most beautiful from Colonial Park. School is out, so the traffic should be less than normal. I will be happy to wait for anyone who either can ride at a C pace, or thinks they can do so (even if it turns out that they cannot). To beat the heat, we should take a short break, but I will see what everyone wants to do. If everyone is a little hot and wants to cut the route by 5 miles, we could make a left instead of a right at 518 (Mile 17) and take our break at the next turn (Great Road, Miles 17.9).
