No sweep. Regrouping. No planned stop. Bring enough to drink.  

This is a variation of ride #651 (Pluckemin-Oldwick-Whitehouse) with a different food stop. It's a "Pretzel" ride that crosses itself many times and never gets you too far from start point. Make sure your Garmin is working well.

PLEASE NOTE: Park in commuter parking lot across from Gardner Field because of Denville Days events going on. This ride travels through many suburban areas before returning to familiar ground in the Denville area. Biggest climb is around mile 29 going up Brook Valley. Some roads have busy traffic although it should be better Sunday morning. Final food stop is near the end at Smartworld Coffee on Diamond Spring Road in Denville.

I will be backing up Pete's ride.  

Let's beat the heat (or at least some of it). Bring plenty of water.

Tour 779 without the Airport Road Loop. Tour by Jan Gorban (2015).

I think this ride will be OK on Sunday.

There is a lot of downed trees affecting rides out of Loantaka.

Weather: Temps in the 80s and light wind.

Come out and join me for a short Sunday ride.

A nice short ride on a WARM day but with Humidity.

Weather: Temps in the mid 80s with light wind.

This ride goes to Whitebridge Road and then loops back to Loantaka.

No long stops planned but we can regroup as required.

Finish before NOON - please.

A lovely ride out of Loantaka!

This ride goes on all of your favorite roads around the Great Swamp. A beautiful ride, on quiet roads, for the average cyclist with just the right amount of a challenge.

We'll skip the Airport Loop on the way out, making the ride closer to 24.5 mi.

Bring a snack and plenty of hydration.

Please remember your cue sheet and/or GPS file.

There are bathrooms at ball fields at mile 23.5. If closed there are bathrooms and a porta john at Pyramid Mt Mile 25.4.

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.
