| 06/19 | Fri | 9:00am | C+/C+/42/2061 | Pluckemin (Bedminster I) | Lisa Gentile | 886 - Mountainville, the Other Left | 49 | Posting a C+ pace given the elevation. I did this route recently and it’s over 2300 ft. Please be able to do a solid C+ pace. | Take a left at Mountainville and another left just after Lebanon onto some beautiful roads we don't often ride. NOTE: Similar to tour #909 but starting from Pluckemin instead of RVCC. Tour by Tony Marchand (2013). | CAUTION: Uncontrolled crossing of high-speed, 4 lane Rt 22 at mile 28.2. Choose tour 1016 to cross Rt 22 at light. CLIMBS: Rockaway Valley, Water St, Cokesbury (500' in 5 miles @ mile 14.5) Food stops: | 17: Lisa Gentile, Gregory Stec, James Anderson, Paulo Piedade (C), Dennis Budnik, Robert Misihowsky, Robert Kojko, Bob Ferrara (C), Vinny Catanzaro (C), Brian Cap (C+), Steven Sitek, David Kim, peter ingraham, Hugh Summerfield, Andrew Diorio, Larry Grossman (C+), Betsy Eastwood | Scheduled |
| 06/19 | Fri | 9:00am | D+/B/29/1800 | Loantaka-South St., Morris Twp. | Manuel Coelho | 1225 - Loantaka - Hardscrabble - MNHP | 62 | A ride that includes familiar local roads through Green Village and Harding, a sustained climb up the full extent of Hardscrabble Rd (great view from the top in peak foliage season) in Bernardsville and a loop on the tour road in Morristown National Historical Park. | Food stops: | 3: Manuel Coelho, George Decker (C), Andy Boulcott (C) | Scheduled | |
| 06/19 | Fri | 9:30am | C/B/32/1852 | Denville Savage Rd | Pete Aldrich | 1217 - Old Beach Glen the Easier Way | 58 | Our usual food stop will be at Smartworld Coffee on Diamond Spring Road in Denville near the end. | This tour is essentially the reverse of our popular #848, with a loop through Cedar Lake & Cooks Pond early on. It tackles Old Beach Glen early on and is a less steep challenge. It also reverses the awkward downhill of the pothole filled portion of Kinnelon Ave & makes it a safer route. It also schedules a stop at Lakeside Bagels, and thus eliminates the risky crossing of Green Pond Road. |
| 6: Pete Aldrich (C), Richard Poore (C), Joe DeCagna (C), Marvin Schwinder (C), Richard Rosenberg, Bill Slezak (C) | Scheduled |
| 06/19 | Fri | 9:30am | D+/C+/25/1069 | Pluckemin (Bedminster I) | Jan Gorban | 973 - Pluckemin-Along Mill Rivers-Short | 43 | Tour 779 without the Airport Road Loop. Tour by Jan Gorban (2015). | Food stops: Oldwick General Store (mile 15). | 2: Jan Gorban (D+), John Siegel (D) | Scheduled | |
| 06/19 | Fri | 9:30am | C+/C+/43/2146 | White Oak Park - Branchburg | John Parsekian | 823 - Rogers Runne | 50 | Friday will be ideal cycling weather; low wind moderate temps. Boro Bean in Hopewell is always a great place to take a break. | Two climbs over the Sourland with splendid lightly trafficked roads, food stop at "Boro Bean" in Hopewell. | CAUTION: Gravel patch (0.1 mile) on Plennart Rd. (mile 9.4)
Food stops: Hopewell - Boro Bean (mile 25). | 2: John Parsekian, Tom Sterk | Scheduled |
| 06/19 | Fri | 10:30am | D/C/24/899 | Pluckemin (Bedminster I) | Tom Flatley | 1384 - Let's Eat at Whitehouse Station | 37 |
We did this ride two weeks ago and enjoyed the variation. Please remember your cue sheet and/or GPS file. | This ride is a shortened version of MAFW 1121. The loop to Oldwick is eliminated. This ride is about 23 miles long and relatively flat. The stop is at the Whitehouse General Store at about mile 12. | 5: Tom Flatley (D), Betty Ann Kaltneckar, Gloria Friedman (D), John Chapman (D), Len Friedman (D) | Scheduled | |
| 06/20 | Sat | 8:30am | C+/B/41/2474 | Pluckemin (Bedminster I) | Joseph Reo | 221 - Pluckemin-Califon-Oldwick | 60 | I have not been to Califon via a road bikes in 2026. Time to make that a reality. Note early start time to beat the heat. Although a c+ pace we will regroup on climbs etc as necessary to keep as many people together as possible. | While the route is in a familiar area, it traverses roads that we use less frequently. A couple of tough climbs (between Mountainville and Califon on Water St/Mountain Grove and leaving Califon on West Valley Brook) are rewarded with some great downhills (Hoffman’s Crossing Road and Old Turnpike Rd to Oldwick). There is a nice flat section near Califon paralleling the Columbia Trail and the South Branch of the Raritan River. Also a choice of two great food stops - Bex at the midway point or Oldwick if you want to wait until after the serious climbing is done. | Food stops:
| 3: Joseph Reo (C+), Robert Misihowsky, Carl D'Ruiz (C+) | Scheduled |
| 06/20 | Sat | 9:00am | D+/B/40/2900 | Hope Park & Ride | Manuel Coelho | 481 - Hope-Low Gears-Bad Attitude | 73 | Another new tour by Carmine the Last (Stella). This is his famous Lost Tour with many uphill climbs and new roads for you to enjoy. This route earns its name with one longer climb (Millbrook, 400' in 1.5 miles) and lots of short steep ones. | Food stops:
| 2: Manuel Coelho, Gaye Swanson (C) | Scheduled | |
| 06/20 | Sat | 9:00am | B/C+/45/1778 | Ghost Lake, Allamuchy | Robert Kojko | 986 - Out of Hope | 40 | A further extension of the popular Hope ride #961, and its extended version #964. Adds the popular South St. loop.. This tour goes near the Town of Hope, but doesn't get there, thus it is named "Out of Hope". Don't be intimidated by C+ terrain rating, at 40 ft/mile it is right on border between C and C+ terrain with no big climbs. "Pretzel" route that crosses itself several times - good for iffy weather days as it is easy to cut the route short. Tour by Len Sanders and Steve Diamond (2015). | Food stops: Tranquility Store (mile 26). | 3: Robert Kojko, Bill Kolano, Dennis Budnik | Scheduled | |
| 06/21 | Sun | 8:30am | B/C+/48/2341 | Chatham Township Municipal Building | Joseph Reo | 1460 - CTMB Black River Express | 49 | It’s Father’s Day and we should be back by lunch time. Ride starts at 8:30 so we should be should be back for any family related activities. I considered a ride over hell mountain but decided to show some mercy as I did not want you to fall asleep eating dinner with your family. |
| 4: Joseph Reo (C+), Eiichiro Sato (C+), Lisa Gentile, David Kim | Scheduled | |
| 06/23 | Tue | 10:00am | C/C/45/1292 | Colonial Park, Lot C in the Winter, Howe Athletic Center in the Summer | Michael Chenkin | 563 - Colonial-Hopewell for Bridge Out | 29 | Tine for a ride from Colonial Park with some nice climbs. Nice route; the only thing missing is you. If roads are wet, I'll likely reschedule for Wednesday. My respectful requests/expectations:
| This is a new end of the ride for the Colonial Hopewell ride with the Bridge Out and alternate route down from the Sourlands. | Food stops: Hopewell (a little early at mile 18, but only option now that Peacock's is closed due to 2014 fire). | 1: Michael Chenkin (C) | Scheduled |
