It's here!

The ride you've been waiting for!

The first sunrise ride of the season @ 6AM: )

A relaxed D+ pace to check the legs and only 870 feet of climb.

Civil dawn is at 5:41 AM.

Hope to see you there! 

A great ride which goes on all of your favorite roads. Some light traffic can be expected.

Test riding a potential new bike. 

A perfect ride for all levels from D to B.   The route is perfect for a leisurely pace to enjoy the beauty of the great swamp or as a pace-line training ride.  The one larger hill on Millbrook Road is purposely included in the first third of the ride while your legs are fresh. Although there are no places to stop for food on this ride, Loantaka Park at Mile 11 is a great place to stop and regroup and take a bathroom break if needed.  The starting point also has a bathroom available if the municipal building is open.

Come join me from a start point not frequently used on roads not often ridden. 

11:00 a.m. start to avoid some of the early morning chill and commuter traffic.

 Through lots of country roads, with an exhilarating ride down Federal Twist to Stockton.

This ride starts at Oak Ridge Park and takes you through Rahway River Park, Unami Park and Tamaques Park.  Bathrooms are at start and at Rahway River Park and Tamaques Park.  Ride goes through residential areas of Clark, Rahway and Westfield.  Ride was created by Central Bike Club.  There are 2 parking lots at Oak Ridge.  One is the main lot at the old building that use to be the golf club house. The other lot is at the sports complex.  Park at the main lot.

This looks like a nice ride for Tuesday but starting a little later than the C ride.

Riders:  D+ / D++ / C- are welcome to join this ride

31 miles and less than a 1000 feet of climbing  FUN !!

We can do a short stop at the Green Village Deli at mile 16, if necessary.

Weather:  Sunny / Temps in the mid 40s / light wind

Come out and join me on Tuesday.

Ride changed to Kingwood Park on Union Road.  Easier flat route.  Text/email me for address.

Its really just 3 highways: 9 miles on a flat or soft rolling (Rout 29), then 8 miles on a few hard (steep) climbs (Route 519), then easy "rollers" (Route 513) back to Frenchtown.  Deli stop as it crosses Highway 12 (right on the corner).

This will be a well-paced TB ride with the group working to stay together. Please download the route in advance. We may alter the route to go up Rockaway from 517 rather than go into Oldwick.

Rain may cause me to cancel the ride, so please watch your emails and texts for updates.

Hope to see you there!

Another beautiful ride in Somerset County horse country with a stop at the Oldwick General Store and then up to Mountainville. NOTE: Similar to tour #896, but starting from Pluckemin/Bed-1.

Regroup on the hills. Brief stop at Oldwick General Store, or if group prefers not to stop. 

A new combination of familiar roads. This ride passes through the towns of North Branch, Whitehouse, Mountainville, Pottersville and Oldwick. NOTE: Similar to tour #908, but starting at Pluckemin/Bed1

Even if it's your first ride this year, I'll stay with you.  Call me if you have questions.  We'll be stopping at The Oldwick General Store in the middle of the ride for lunch.
