If you want to try some gravel the Columbia trail can even be ridden on a road bike as long as you are riding with size 28 tires or larger.  We rode the trail last week and path was in good condition.   Feel free to bring some holiday sweaters etc if that sort of thing interests you.  We will stop for coffee at the halfway point and feel free to join us at the local brewery (walking distance from the starting point) for some pizza and beer.

Listing this ride at a slower pace than Joe’s ride. When we get to Long Valley, we can decide whether to continue to the end, shorten it by a little or  just return back to High Bridge.  The mileage ridden will be between 16 and 24 miles total. Please dress warmly and bring a snack and fluids for Long Valley. Best if you bring a bike with at least 28mm and preferably 32 mm tires. Optional stop afterwards joining Joe ‘s group in High Bridge. Come out and join me on Saturday.
