Changed to a 5:45AM start so we can get back 7:30ish.

It's July, so we're supposed to be in shape for hills!

I need to work on that, so we'll get leg work on Hardscrabble: )

We will return on Woodland rather than 124.

Another "non-swamp" low-traffic ride heading out to Mendham. Tour by Steve Bach (10/2015).

Ride past Jockey Hollow to Mendham to Far hills, with a return thru Liberty Corner and Basking Ridge.

Peapack (CocoLuxe, Heated) (mile 17) Basking Ridge (Copper Kettle or Ridge Bagel) (mile 28)

Easy "C" recovery ride to start the (hot) week.  No real hills.  No rest stop (maybe to grab an energy bar).  I will sweep, faster riders can zip ahead (I will not).  No drop ride but not waiting till sundown for you to catch up.  No one should ride alone.  I will cancel before 3:00PM that day if needed.  We leave on time.  For the safety of the group: no T.T. bikes, no bright pink ugly socks.    dB

NOTE: Similar to tour #902, but starting from Pluckemin/Bed-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. 😊

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.
