05/30Sat9:30amB/C+/45/1778Ghost Lake, AllamuchyRobert Kojko986 - Out of Hope40

This is my favorite region of Jersey and I only did two rides there last year. I’m hoping to fix that and will try to post more rides to explore the best of Warren and Sussex Counties 

A further extension of the popular Hope ride #961, and its extended version #964.  Adds the popular South St. loop.. This tour goes near the Town of Hope, but doesn't get there, thus it is named "Out of Hope". Don't be intimidated by C+ terrain rating, at 40 ft/mile it is right on border between C and C+ terrain with no big climbs. "Pretzel" route that crosses itself several times - good for iffy weather days as it is easy to cut the route short. Tour by Len Sanders and Steve Diamond (2015).

Food stops:
Tranquility Store (mile 26).

05/31Sun9:30amC/C+/33/1435Denville Savage RdPete Aldrich1501 - Lake Parsippany - JC Reservoir Dam43

This is a route that was created last year but hasn't been ridden yet by the club. It's a change of scenery from what we're used to with Denville rides. There are a few points where there may be some traffic such as Parsippany and Boonton. We'll stop at mile 32 near the end at Smartworld Coffee in Denville.

Ride begins by traveling through Cedar Lake section of Denville and then heads over to Lake Parsippany and eventually past the Jersey City Reservoir dam and waterworks. The route then travels back through Boonton and Mountain Lakes before stopping at Smartworld Coffee in Denville just a mile from the end.

05/31Sun10:30amD/C/12/349Pops Bike ShopMichael Chenkin1475 - Popscycle 129

Here is a ride for novice riders, those returning to cycling, and those looking for a mellow recovery ride. I'll keep the group together on this ride for safety and comfort reasons.  This is a fairly scenic tour with some small hills with just enough climb to strengthen your legs and raise the heart rate a little.

Parking in Somerville is free on Sundays and you can park in the lot behind Pop's Bike Shop by turning on to Warren Street from Main Street and entering the first parking lot on the right.

Suitable for beginning riders and those looking for a short scenic route, this ride takes you on a flat route with a couple of small climbs past Duke Island Park and returns via scenic River Road.  There are many easy possible variations of this ride including adding a stretch from the entrance to Duke Island Park down the path past the waterfall and exiting the park at the Maintenance Facility back to Old York Road.

There is no food stop since the ride is short.

06/02Tue10:30amB/B/47/2675White Oak Park - BranchburgEric Lavitsky1134 - Mind Your Manners57

This route hasn't been ridden in over 2 years, but it's a nice way to go down to the Sourlands and avoid the busiest roads.  The weather right now looks to be quite mild, but it might be damp from rain overnight. I've set a later start time to give the roads a chance to dry out, but stay tuned in case the start time changes. We'll take a break at Boro Bean before the climb out of Hopewell and regroup periodically to keep the group together. Strong C+ riders are welcome.

"A scenic ride to the Sourlands with gradual climbs on the way to Hopewell. Look for Candlelight Farm Alpacas on Manner Road where you will see the herd out in the field. Rest stop at Boro Bean. On the return trip, a long uphill will be followed by a welcome downhill. All crossings on Rt 202 are controlled."Food: Hopewell (mile 27) - Boro Bean or Brick Farm1: Eric Lavitsky (B)Scheduled

08/21Fri1:00pmNA/NA/0/0Special EventBob Warren1538 - Bob's Vermont Adventure0

This is a weekend trip from 8/21 to 8/24/2026.  Lodging is at Ramapo Ski Lodge at Mad River Glen.

Sign-Up for Vermont Biking 3-Day Weekend – August 21-24
This is a 3-day biking weekend in the flat section of North-Central Vermont. We will stay at the
Ramapo Ski Lodge (ramaposkiclub.org) next to the Mad River Ski Area which is on the eastern
side of the Appalachian gap off Route 17 in Vermont. The plan is to ride Saturday, Sunday and
Monday morning, returning home Monday afternoon (to avoid the New York Thruway Sunday
night traffic). Though the lodge can accommodate 40 people, the weekend is limited to 20
people maximum to avoid lodge congestion. So, please sign up early so I can monitor this limit.
Car pooling is encouraged.
The rides are rated as D+/C and include stopping at waterfalls, Vergennes day festival, Lake
Champlain museum, Morgan Horse farm, Breweries/Wineries, Ice Creameries, etc. along the
routes. On hot days, local swim areas will be visited after the rides. Also, the stay is quite
inexpensive as the lodge is just $35 per night per person ($105 for 3 days or $70 for 2 day
option). Meals can be prepared at the ski lodge and the nearby Mad River Base Lodge offers
dinners. Participants must send a check to me made out to me at my address below and I will
send a combined group check to the ski club treasurer for the group reservation. Note that I
must receive all checks by August 17 as the ski club requires payment in advance from a
member.
