Join me for a Saturday classic! This is a last minute ride starting at Bed 1, 15 minutes before Joe's ride. It's a fairly tough ride, as it goes up Guinea Hollow and then makes a left onto Sutton Rd. for more climbing.

I want to remove one section of the ride... when we get to the Oldwick General Store (mile 29 - stopping for a bar there), we will not turn left onto King St. Instead, stay straight on Oldwick Rd and make a left onto Felmley (at the hippo), and then we're back on the route. It will make the ride a little less than 40 miles, and less climbing. Strong D+ riders are invited!

This route climbs to the highest point in Tewksbury, on Mt. Grove. Then travels around Cokesbury and into Lebanon, before going back to Tewksbury. There are some familiar roads and hills and some not so familiar roads and hills, all very quiet and pleasant. Tour by Muffin Williams (2017)

Will sweep Dave's ride.

Join me for a ride over hell mountain the easy way.  We will do the other rides over hell mtn in September and October. 

This is our familiar Pluckemin-Mountainville ride with a few added hills, including a breathtaking downhill.

Mountainville - mile 20, closed Sun, Mon, Tues Black River General Store - Pottersville - mile 29

A new ride out of Loantaka and it's time to do it.

I'll check the weather forecast in the morning and make adjustments if necessary.

Weather: Sunny at the start but then partly cloudy with light wind BUT a chance of RAIN.

Temps in the mid 70s at the end of August (really ??).

Come out and join me on Saturday.

Should be nice weather for Sunday morning. The climbing is pretty gradual, but we'll regroup at the top of Water to keep the group together. Strong C+ riders welcome.

Another ride to Oldwick and Mountainville with a twist; we turn left in Mountainville and go around Round Vally and to Stanton. Ride by Lorin Press.

Lebanon General Store (mile 19) CLOSED on Saturday and at 1 PM on Sundays Stanton General Store (mile 26) Whitehouse (mile 33) make right onto route 28 to get to Whitehouse General Store then make a U-Turn

This is a fabulous ride for visiting tons of New York infrastructure lacing 3 islands together (Manhattan, Wards/Randals, Roosevelt). You will cross the GWB, the Wards Island Bridge, The RFK bridge, and the Roosevelt Island Bridge. In addition, there's the remains of an assylum on Roosevelt Island where we will leave mis-behaving cyclists.

The start point has been moved to Fort Lee Historic Park. As a consequence, the ride is shortened about 3 miles and a long end-of-ride, not very scenic, hill is eliminated. 

We'll lunch on Roosevelt Island then take the tram, with your bike, to Manhattan/Central Park.

Bring you camera/gopro with lots of  'film'.  

Looking forward to a great ride!

A NY tour consisting of 3 islands, 4 bridges, and a tram. We visit Inwood Hill Park, Randals & Wards Island, Roosevelt Island, and Central Park in Manhattan. The tram takes us from Roosevelt Island to Manhattan with a short ride to Central Park. Typically, we lunch on Roosevelt Island with a great view of the Ed Koch (59th St.) Bridge, Manhattan, and Queens. We'll tour the new Four Freedoms Park which is a tribute to F.D.R. You will have to carry your bike up and down modest stairs on the RFK bridge and the tram destination in Manhattan. Almost any kind of (not too heavy) 2-wheeled bike will work on this tour, e.g. road, hybrid, mountain. Most of the ride is on greenways, bridges, parks, or marked bike lanes. Central Park is closed to cars on  weekends. Bring money or credit cards for the tram and food.  There's a new, in 2022, Nellie Bly Monument (an American investigative journalist widely known for faking insanity in order to be admitted to the asylum on Blackwell Island - today's Roosevelt Island - so she could report on the horrors there).  Rest rooms: Wards/Randals Island, Roosevelt Island: near the entrance to the 4 Freedoms Park as well as in the food establishments, Near the base of the GWB on the Hudson River Greenway. 

PARKING: At the start point (Ft. Lee Historic Park), there is a one-time charge, currently $5, for a 1-year Palisades parking permit (includes Ft. Lee Historic Park) for seniors over 62.  Click here for details. Take advantage of this vs. hourly meter charges but don’t wait until the Friday before the ride to apply.

Any kind of bike is appropriate for this ride.

Picnic ride.

A beautiful ride through Western Morris and Warren counties with some great, long down hills and surprisingly easy, gradual climbs. Similar to 529 but returns via Rt. #513 and Fairview Ave.
