07/14Mon 8:30amC+/B/32/1852Denville Savage RdPaul Malinowski1217 - Old Beach Glen the Easier Way58

This scenic ride will be non-stop with a bagel & coffee stop at the END.  When exiting Fayson Lakes, make a RIGHT onto Boonton Ave. - - the ball field on Right side is a good regrouping point.  On Diamond Spring Rd, continue straight past Morris Ave - - meet at Church St Bagels/ Smart World Coffee.

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.

07/15Tue 8:45amC/C+/28/1373Duke Island ParkJeff Sperling1025 - Almost Skirting the Sourlands but Shorter49

Here’s a ride that we haven’t visited in over a year. The C plus terrain will give us a workout but it’s short enough to get us off the road before things really warm up. Our stop will be at Wawa, of course. We have the option at the end of finishing through the path off of Old York Road that will be nicely shaded and cooling. Come join me on Tuesday. 

Similar to Skirting the Sourlands but shorter. Rolling hills that go through towns of Neshanic, Three Bridges, Centerville and Raritan with several crossings of the Raritan River but no Rt 202 crossings. Note that out and back to WAWA can be skipped at mile 19.2 for evening and picnic rides. Similar to tours 1024 and 1025. Tour by Andy Corwin & Jan Gorban (2016).

Food stops: WAWA (mile 20). 4: Jeff Sperling(C), Walter Paul(NA), Les Garber(C), Larry Thomas(C)scheduled
