09/07Sun 10:00amD/D/14/305Pops Bike ShopMichael Chenkin1485 - Paved Trails and Paved Roads22

Another relaxed Sunday ride especially suited for new cyclists, those retuning to cycling after an absence, or those who simply want a relaxed short ride on a scenic route.  No one rides alone and the pace will be adjusted as needed so everyone stays together.  

A short scenic ride to Duke Island Park that travels the scenic Peter's Brook/Raritan River Greenway, a short stretch on Old York and neighboring roads, and then travels through paved trails in Duke Island Park before heading back to the start point.  A maximum of 5 or 6 riders and a casual or D pace on the paved trails is recommended due to the width of the paved trails and pedestrian traffic on the paths in Duke Island Park.  NOTE: the greenway may not be passable after a heavy rain or extended period of rain.  On those occasions, there should be a sign posted at the greenway entrance.

09/13Sat 7:00amNA/NA/0/0Special EventDennis Budnik952 - Special Event - Sourlands Spectacular0

Join me for one of my favorite events.  Fully supported and a beautiful route.  You must register to do this ride (see description below).  I will lead this as a "true C" pace and would like to keep us together, waiting on the tops of the climbs.  No one should ride alone.  I will sweep the back and jump to the front and hopefully others will take the pulls to help as a team.  We will not look for speed but, rather "effort".  If heavy rains predicted, I will not ride (but I will not cancel for those who want to go on).  I will not ride if smoke/haze from the Canadian wild fires effects us that day.  Looking for a volunteer to lead a faster and a slower ride.  Questions: e-mail me: dennyboyrom@yahoo.com.

Ride to benefit Sourlands Conservancy.  Start point is at Watershed Institute Campus, 31 Titus Mill Road near Pennington.  Need to register via the link below.   For more information on this event check out the link below. Sourland Spectacular – Pennington, NJ
