Greetings, friends.

The club’s Board has voted to revise ride leader awards effective ride year beginning October 1, 2025 as follows:

Lead 15 or more rides in a year, choose a ride leader jersey or $50 gift card.  Previously, the minimum number of rides was 12.

Thanks for your attention.

Best regards,

Michael

Our wonderful New Jersey elected officials recently passed a law requiring that class 3 ebikes be registered and that owners must carry liability insurance for them.  After spending a lot of time doing a lot of research, it appears that these bikes cannot be registered because the required documentation cannot be obtained by owners.  If you want details, shoot me an email or call me.

Some members contacted their insurance carriers and were told that neither auto insurance, homeowner’s insurance, or umbrella policies provide liability coverage for their ebikes.  If you own a class 3 ebike, it is recommended that you contact your insurance carrier to determine if any existing policy provides liability coverage for your ebike,  At this point, it appears that there are several insurers who will write these policies and one option is to conduct a google search for that.

Best regards,

Michael

There will be a delicious benefit BYOB luncheon for the Morris Area Freewheelers Foundation at The Gourmet Cafe in Parsippany on Monday, September 29, 2025 from 12:30 until 2:30.  This is the second year that Chef Matt and The Gourmet Cafe will be donating a percentage of proceeds from lunch and sales of gift cards to the Morris Area Freewheeler Foundation, As you may know, the Freewheeler Foundation is the organization that provides needed assistance and support for our Revolutionary Ramble.  The price for lunch is quite reasonable and you can view the menu here:

We hope to exceed last year’s attendance of 14 people and can assure you a time of great food, fun, and friendship, 

Have fun; stay safe.

Final reminder to sign up for the Fall Picnic.

We must place food the order Thursday which means we need a head count no later than 2 PM on Thursday.

Be sure to sign up for the picnic if you plan to attend.  We won’t assume that all who sign up for the ride will be staying for the picnic.

Best regards,

Michael

Hello, friends.

The fall picnic is next Sunday at White Oak Park.  The club will be providing salads, a variety of hot and cold food, and beverages.  Since we need to order the food in advance, please sign up ASAP if you plan to attend so we can order enough food.

Dessert will be provided by club members.  Please bring enough dessert items for 3 to 5 people.

See you then!

Best regards,

Michael

Greetings, friends.

I am pleased to inform you that the Club will be providing all food and beverages for the Fall Picnic on Sunday, September 14, 2025 with the exception of desserts.  We are asking all who attend the picnic to bring a dessert item for 3-5 people.  We’re very excited about having the opportunity to have the picnic catered rather than to have a pot luck.  The picnic will be at White Oak Park.

Other upcoming events:

1. Joint ride with BTCNJ on September 27 with optional pizza and drinks after the ride at Diamond Springs Brewery.
2. Final Club party ride for 2025 on Sunday, October 12.  More details to follow.
3. In-person membership meeting will be scheduled for November.  More details to follow.

As always, have fun and be safe.

Best regards,

Michael

 

Grteetings, friends.

It was pointed out to me by a fellow club member that I had a senior moment and forgot to mention another fun food date in September.

There will be another joint bike ride with BTCNJ out of Denville on September 27.  Those who wish to do so can go to Diamond Springs Brewery after the ride for pizza provided by the club.  Drinks are at your discretion and not paid for by the Club.

Have fun; stay ssafe.

Best regards,

Michael
