06/20Sat8:30amC+/B/41/2474Pluckemin (Bedminster I)Joseph Reo221 - Pluckemin-Califon-Oldwick60

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: 11: Joseph Reo (C+), Marvin Gersho (C+), Bob Ferrara (C), jeff charney, Vaughn Nguyen, Paulo Piedade (C), Robert Clarke, Dennis Budnik, Andrew Diorio, Karen King, Kathy OhlethScheduled
06/20Sat9:00amD+/B/40/2900Hope Park & RideManuel Coelho481 - Hope-Low Gears-Bad Attitude73

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: 15: Manuel Coelho, Gaye Swanson (C), Muffin Williams (C), Tom Williams (D+), Bob Warren (C), Arlene Whalen (C), Mike Fahrney (C), Dave Hall (C), mark brumbaugh (D+), Marvin Schwinder (C), Eiichiro Sato (C+), Joe DeCagna (C), Giuseppe Ferrara (C), Tracy Brown (C), Lynne Avery (C)Scheduled
06/20Sat9:00amB/C+/45/1778Ghost Lake, AllamuchyRobert Kojko986 - Out of Hope40

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).

Faster D riders welcome. 

Lots of our favorite country roads. Similar to tour 1005, but avoids the traffic lights and ramps at I-78 on Oldwick Road. Easy to add five miles with two "Airport Road" loops. Tour by Lili Brohal (2017).Food stops: Whitehouse General Store - mile 156: Jan Gorban (D+), Eli Goldstein (C), Jon Eiseman (D+), Andrew Beckerman-Rodau, Chris Breen (D+), Petra Strickland (D+)Scheduled
06/21Sun8:30amB/C+/48/2341Chatham Township Municipal BuildingJoseph Reo1460 - CTMB Black River Express49

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. 


For those of you looking for a slightly longer more challenging ride out  of CTMB. 

This route is not to be taken lightly, it hits some of our most favorite roads enjoyed by novices and experts alike. So, get on your bike and celebrate the glory of biking with friends, cheers !!

A back way into Oldwick that includes Halls Mills and Vlietown Roads. Very light traffic, real Tewksbury horse country.

06/23Tue10:00amC/C/45/1292Colonial Park, Lot C in the Winter, Howe Athletic Center in the SummerMichael Chenkin563 - Colonial-Hopewell for Bridge Out29

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:

  1. I will sweep as per the Ride Leader manual.
  2. I expect at least 1 person to ride with me, especially since there is always a small possibility that my internal defibrillator will go off. 
  3. I prefer that all who sign up commit to riding within the club’s average speed for the posted pace and prefer you not sign up if you plan to exceed the maximum average speed for the posted pace. Anyone who chooses to ride faster than the maximum average speed for the posted pace will be considered to be on your own unless you stop to regroup periodically. 
  4. Please be able to maintain the minimum average speed for the posted pace, however, no one will be dropped. 
  5. No one rides alone. 
  6. Keep an eye on your fellow riders: bikes break, accidents happen, medical emergencies happen.
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
