I rode this in 2022 and made a note to do it again since it was a great ride. I didn't note why it was a great ride, so sign-up and we will find out! 

Update: Mark Olinsky somehow had the presence of mind to realize that a number of us  did ride 1297 on Jeff's May Reddington Brewery party ride.

It was a nice and scenic ride in May with one ambitious hill climb. I need to work on my hill climbing so....perfect!

Come out and join us: )

We'll definitely have a coffee shop stop, and who knows, maybe a Reddington flight afterwards!

If you don't want to make a right at CR523 at mile 11.5  because of traffic you can continue on Pleasant  Run Rd, right onto Barley Sheaf and then left onto Locust Rd to get back on cue.

MEET AT FRONTAGE ROAD PARKING LOT INSTEAD OF BEDMINSTER I.

We will end the ride by going toward River Rd Park and taking the path back to Frontage Rd parking lot instead of turning onto Klines Mill Rd and riding on Burnt Mills Rd.

Please be comfortable with washboarding. There could be more given the recent heavy rains. 

A nice ride in Montgomery County.  Rest stop at 33 miles at New World Pizza.

Blawenberg - New World Pizza or Blawenburg Bistro (mile 31) Terhune Orchards (early - mile 20)

A pleasant ride on new and old roads around Allamuchy with many beautiful farms to see along the way. Same as tour #431 except starting from Goodale.

Notes:

No bathrooms at the start point but there is a Quick Check about a mile before you get to start point.  Address of start point is 529 US-46 E and it is now a Family Dollar, no longer A&P.  We normally park in the northeast corner of the parking lot.  Just before you get there you can make a left onto Water St CR 620 and then a quick right to stay on CR-620 and you will be in back of Family Dollar.  If you miss Water St, you can make a left at next intersection.

Travel along the Delaware River thru Phillipsburg to Pohatcong. Return on the back roads of southern Warren County. Optional side trip up Fiddlers Elbow available.

Harmony Spririts & Grocery (mile 35) Phillipsburg (early - mile 16.5)

Let's try this ride again - I think it got rained out recently. The Amsterdam Coffee Shop in Point Pleasant, PA is open on Sundays, and is in a really interesting and funky garden/home decor/gallery store. Weather should be good on Sunday. If anyone has info on storm damage in that area please let me know. I'll lead at a relaxed pace from the back. Hope to see you.

1. Travel through scenic roads of NJ and Pennsylvania to the quaint town of Point Pleasant Pa, Not New Jersey.  A town featured prominently in the Revolutionary War where grist mills produced grain for the soldiers. Later it became a resting spot for canal men.  Rest stop at Dharma Bums or Lumberville Store.  Come and enjoy this route, you won't be disappointed

Food stops: Point Pleasant - Dharma Bums - mile 31.3, Lumberville Store - mile 33.1

Rain or heavy winds cancels (I will cancel before 7:00AM that day if needed).  Steady "B" pace reaching B+ at times.  Regroup at the top of the hard climbs (but, we're not waiting till noon for you).  Tubeless riders are on your own if you get a flat.  Faster cats are welcome to zip ahead but "no one should ride alone"  However, lets try and stay together, working as a team!  Note: If I don't have at least 2 riders by 7:00AM that day, I will cancel and join another ride.  No heroes or "attitudes".  If you come with a arrogant attitude, it will be quickly "readjusted" to suit our humble group. 😊

There are bathrooms at ball fields at mile 23.5. If closed there are bathrooms and a porta john at Pyramid Mt Mile 25.4.

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.
