07/26Sun9:05amB/B/40/2020Denville Savage RdDennis Budnik1421 - BTCNJ's Bike, Brew and Pizza Ride51

Rain, smoke/haze from the wild fires 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. 😊

 

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.

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.
