Rides for the picnic were rescheduled to 10/23. Let me know if you want to be ride leader for one of the rides.
Also please update your rides so I can determine if you are qualified for the ride leader award. I will send out a list of ride leaders qualifying for the award next week.
Thanks,
Manny
To all ride leaders,

To all MAFW riders,
FALL PICNIC OCT 2
Just a reminder that the fall picnic is Oct 2 at Pickell Park. Be sure to sign up via Eventbrite and then sign up for a ride on ride schedule. Please arrive 30 mins before your ride so you can drop off any food you are bringing and prepare for the ride.
FALL FOLIAGE WEEKEND
On our website under Other Organization Events is listed Fall Foliage Weekend on weekend of Oct 21-23 at Hanover/Gettysburg, Pa. run by Bicycle Club of Philadelphia. In the past members of MAFW have attended this great event and members of MAFW are signed up for this years event. Check out Other Organization Events on our website for more info. There are still openings and my understanding is BCP has reserved 2 hotels for this event. If interested you can contact me since I may be looking for a roommate.
I will list this event on our schedule so please sign up so we know who from MAFW is going.
SEAGULL CENTURY
On Oct 8 is the Seagull Century and is listed on our schedule. After registering for this event with Seagull Century please signup on our schedule so maybe the group can get together at Salisbury.
OTHER ORGANIZATION EVENTS
Be sure to check Other Organization Events for other events.
Thanks,
Manny
WHITE OAK PARK-There is a big event at White Oak Park on Sep 24 so please do not schedule any rides on that date.
LIMECREST-Feel free to start scheduling rides from Limecrest on the weekends.
OCT 2 PICNIC-There are a couple of picnic rides that need ride leaders. Please let me know if you want to lead. Also if you have suggestions for alternate rides let me know.
MADISONVILLE ROAD DETOUR-The bridge on Madisonville road between Basking Ridge and New Vernon is under construction and closed. This bridge is on many, many rides that loop around the swamp and head back to Loantaka. From Basking Ridge, the detour would be to stay straight on N Maple, R onto 202 north, R on either Bailey’s Mill, Glen Alpin or Sand Spring, back to Lee’s Hill road. Thanks to Merritt for this detour suggestion.
Thanks, Manny
Sorry to bother you again but I got an inquiry that the Oct picnic rides are not shown on the calendar. What you need to do is expand the calendar beyond Oct 2 since schedule only shows ~2 weeks. After logging in go to “Rides” > “Schedule”. Select small calendar to right of “End Date” and select the date you want and then select “List”. You can also see past rides using the calendar next to “Start Date”. When using the calendar be sure to not only select a month but also a date.
Manny
FALL PICNIC-MAFW Fall Picnic will be held on Sunday Oct 2 at Pickell Park, Whitehouse Station. Picnic rides have been posted so you can start signing up for rides. Don’t forget that you still need to sign up for the picnic via EventBrite. When you arrive at Pickell Park just a reminder that you need to arrive at least 30 mins before start of your ride. Rides start at 9am and leave every 5 mins.
OTHER ORGANIZATION EVENTS-On our website we list “Other Organization Events”. If you have special event ride you want listed let us know. Next weekend Sat Sept 10 is the Sourland Spectacular. Parking is at Montgomery High School and registration is across the street at senior citizen building. If you registered for the ride recommend signing up on our schedule so we know who is going. Bob Warren and I have signed up as ride leaders for this event but you are not obligated to go with me or Bob.
Sincerely,
Manny
Dear Ride Leaders,
FALL PICNIC-Our Fall Picnic will be held at Pickell Park on Sunday Oct 2. I posted proposed rides for the picnic and we need ride leaders for each ride. Email me if you want to lead one of the rides. I made up 2 new rides for D+ and D and working on cue sheets. These rides are not set in stone so if you have a recommendation that you want to lead let me know. C ride is the most popular so I have 2 C rides and thanks to Tracy for volunteering to lead one of the C rides. When I picked these routes I tried to have a rest stop for each ride, stayed away from one side of Round Valley due to construction, stayed away from Route 22 and uncontrolled crossings at RT202. I have the B+, B and C+ rides heading to Sky Manor Airport and they can combine into 1 ride.
RIDE LEADER AWARD-As promised below is the latest ride leader report. To qualify for the RL award you need to lead 12 rides by Sept 30(cancelled rides count 1/2 ride). Thanks for helping MAFW by leading rides.

RIDE LEADER AWARDS-After you do a ride be sure to update your ride so your ride gets counted. Any issues let me know. To earn this year’s ride leader award you need to lead 12 rides by Sept 30. Cancelled rides count as ½ ride. This will earn you a $50 gift certificate and possibly a ride leader jersey. To find out how many rides you have led go to “Ride Leader” and select “Rides I led”. In a week I will send out a list of ride leaders vs rides led and cancellations so you know where you stand.
FALL PICNIC-Fall picnic will be on Oct 2 at Pickell Park in Whitehouse Station. I will be putting in rides and will be looking for ride leaders.
ALEXAUKEN DETOUR-Bridge out on Alexauken Creek Rd after you leave Lambertville. Thanks to Les for this detour:
Rt29 go past Alexauken Creek Rd.
R Seabrook Rd
1.4 miles R Headquarters Rd
3.0 miles R Sandy Ridge/Mt. Airy Rd. becomes Queen Rd. back on route
To all, CYCLING SEMINAR AT BERNARDS TOWNSHIP LIBRARY-Thanks to Chinmoy for sharing this. There will be a talk on “The Golden Age of Bicycle Racing in New Jersey” at Bernards Township Library Tuesday Sept 20 7-8pm. Check attached link for more info. https://www.bernardslibrary.org/eventcalendar#/events/YDl3MlNwUg/instances/Bki22VdKuP/ SPELLBOUND CENTURY-This past Sat TNT Cycling Club held their annual Spellbound Century with ~1400 cyclists. Well run and well organized with live music, all you eat pizza and beer (1 glass per rider) at end of the ride. Event was from Mount Holly and benefited the local charities. At least a dozen riders from MAFW attended and most of us did the metric century. Congrats to Gaye and Mark who completed the full century. It was Mark’s birthday ride but I think he overdid it on the number of miles. He does not look 100. Signup for Spellbound 2023 has started and if interested don’t wait until last minute. Spellbound 2022 sold out in March. https://www.spellboundcentury.org/ For other cycling events be sure to check out “Other Organization Events” on our website. Manny
As a ride leader if you would like to celebrate a special event like a birthday ride, Memorial Day Ride, Tour de France, etc. you can buy refreshments for post ride celebration. Check with Tracy Brown before the event and then send your expenses up to $50 to Merritt Petersen. Thanks again for leading, Manny
