Please join me for a nice, Spring B pace ride. This is a drop, no-sweep ride, but we will work to keep everyone riding together in a steady paceline with stronger riders taking longer pulls in the front.

Please download the route before the ride.

Hope to see you Sunday!

Who is looking for a quickie?   A nice flat ride as we will look to push the pace a little. Please note this is a drop ride but if you do fall behind not to worry as we will stop and re-group at certain strategic locations to re-group.  

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.

We last scheduled a Columbia trail ride in December, but the trail was too icy. Temperatures will be much more pleasant on Sunday. After the long MAFW road rides the last few days, let’s enjoy the scenery on the Columbia Trail again. It is recommended that you bring a bike with at  least 32mm tires. Our stop will be at the Coffee Potter in Long Valley. Come join me on Sunday. 

Just Riding Along in Liberty Corner - 16.5 Basking Ridge - Copper Kettle & Ridge Bagel - mile 22.5

Forecast is for beautiful cycling weather (warm temps but not yet hot)! Join me on this great route from Ghost Lake. There is some climbing but the views and downhills will be wonderful! This will be my first ride leaving from Ghost Lake this year. We will have fun! 

A scenic ride on familiar roads with rolling terrain in Sussex County with a stop to enjoy a bagel. NOTE: re-routed Jan 2015 (mile 8.1 & 29.7) Ride by J. Dent

A minimum hills ride in the Great Swamp area with two loops off of White Bridge Road. *No food stop since Meyersville Cafe closed*.

No sweep but will re-group after Pottersville and Mosle Rd climbs. I will likely average/finish at the low end of the B pace, but you can go faster if you want. Very short stop at CoCo if not crowded. Please bring water/hydration as warm weather is forecasted. 

This ride starts the same as MAFW 213 but changes in Mendham/Peapack. The upper sections use some roads that no other Bed1 ride uses. Tour by Ron Lane (2017).

CocoLuxe or Heated - mile 18 Pizza Brothers in Far Hills - mile 21

Please join me for our first Tuesday night training ride at a TB pace. We'll work together on pacelining and other skills. Although this is a drop ride, we'll try to keep everyone together.

Please download the route in advance of the ride. Rain cancels. Look forward to seeing you on Tuesday night.

Mostly rural roads including Halls Mill, Taylors Mill, Hill and Dale, Homestead, and Black River with a food stop at the Black River General Store. Combination of the best from rides in Oldwick area. Be respectful of horses and their riders on the road. Tour by Manny Coelho & Ron Lane (2016).

Returning to the weekly night trail gigs.  This is not a leisurely ride.  Flat but this will be a fast paced gig.  I do this for endurance training (better than on the roads with all the hills).  Steady pace throughout.  Figure on 20-25 mile.  Quick rest stop before turning back.  Gravel bikes or MTBs only (no road bikes).  If you run tubeless and get a flat, you are on your own.  Rain the night before or that day cancels (I will cancel before 2PM that day).  I buy pizza (on Main Street High Bridge) for anyone who beats my average speed.  Ride safe!  dB

Spring kickoff ride that will start after cleanup.  May start sooner or later.

Lots of good climbs (Hollow Brook, Cokesbury, Long Rd) and a fabulous descent (the other side of Cokesbury) with a great view of Round Valley, we see the reservoir but don't go around it.
