1. Happy birthday to Andy! I'm adding this ride to make room for Andy's 10:30 group. We'll go a bit faster and have more time to celebrate before Andy arrives back! 🤣

Per Andy's instructions, please download the modified route from https://ridewithgps.com/routes/38138647

Leaving Summer Road Park, you will ride through historic Hunterdon County. The following prominent families have roads named after them: Voorhees, Case, Lambert, Rittenhouse, Dilts,  Buchanan and Woolverton. Cross the Delaware at Stockton to Dillys Corner (PA), left onto Rte 32 S and return via New Hope to Lambertville. Rest stop at the Lambertville Trading Company or at others coffee houses available. Then follow a comfortable route back to the start. Tour by Tony Marchand and Pat Kipp (2017).

Lambertville Trading Company - mile 25 Basil Bandwagon - mile 26 Stockton Deli or Stockton Farm Market - (early) mile 21

This is my Birthday ride in kilometers, not miles (with 1.5 extra for good luck). Alexauken Road is closed, but Les Garber showed me how to get around it, and I have modified the route accordingly.  See  https://ridewithgps.com/routes/38138647     While I was modifying the route, I decided to also modify it to skip PA.  Very, very, very, very short break if needed, but there will be cake at the finish.

Please join me for this ride that has not been ridden in > 7 months! Planned rest stop is at the WaWa (mile 23). Note: Start time is 10:30 am (to let it warm up a bit). 

WAWA on 202 (mile 23) La Strada Cafe in Neshanic - Pizza, opens at 11:00 AM, Noon on Sundays, mile 15.3

Warmer day to ride. 

Wawa - lunch @ mile 20.00 

Ride through beautiful rural countryside in the Neshanic Station and Whitehouse Station areas, on familiar roads named Woodfern, Barley Sheaf, and Lazy Brook. Similar to tour 874, but crosses Rt 22 in Whitehouse at light instead of at School Rd.

Friday looks like a good weather day. One of the flatter rides out of Mine Brook. All riders welcome but will sweep bottom of C pace. I think Highland Market is still closed. Maria’s Cafe might be an option for a stop. Am open to suggestions though. 

Come on up to the Flateau for a moving meditation. The climb on Barton Hollow is gentle. Experience the serenity of Kingwood Township. The return trip is a bit more challenging on familiar back country roads.

Rain & wet roads predicted through the morning in this Area.

A popular ride thru the rolling farm country of rural Sussex County with the horses, cows, and sheep. Similar to tour #319, but starts from Limecrest instead of Goodale.

Allamuchy General Store - mile 29 Tranquility Store (late - mile 32 or option to detour to there early (turn L on Kennedy instead of R at mile 17.9 - Tranquility Store is about 1 mile. Do U-turn when done and resume route).

Time to relax and do some hills! Should be dry. Strong Cs welcome and I will sweep

This tour takes us on some very lightly travelled back roads in Readington, Tewksbury Townships with a stop at the Oldwick General Store. It’s a different take on some familiar, but beautiful, country lanes. Similar to tour #983, but crosses Rt 22 at light in Whitehouse Station and Lebanon.

Third time is a charm. I’m rescheduling this ride for Sunday. Out of the 45 rides listed for Colonial Park this is one of the few that does NOT travel on Colonial Road. You will travel some familiar roads but in the opposite direction. Additionally there are some new beautiful roads in Princeton. We will have an amazing short climb on Province Line Road, but even then we are going in the opposite direction. Our stop will be at the Bagel Barn around mile 30. Come join me on Sunday. 

Province Line Rd - 300' in 2 miles @ mile 20 Mt Lucas Rd - 150' in 1 mile @ 28.9

Blawenburg - New World Pizza & Cafe or Blawenburg Bistro - mile 17.2 Rocky Hill - Bagel Barn - at mile 29.5 make a left on Washington Ave and go 1/2 mile. Make a U-Turn when done then make a left on Merritt Ln then at the end make a left on Montgomery Ave to get back on the route.

This is a blend of the 2 previous Mountainville rides with additional loops included. Food stop is at the Oldwick General Store. NOTE: Similar to tour #904, but starting from Pluckemin/Bed-1.

Easy "C" pace, faster D+ welcome.  Nice ride that hasn't been done in a while.  Please check back before you leave for the ride in case the weather conditions become unfavorable.  Right now there is a chance of light, spotty rain in the late afternoon.  See everyone shortly. No rain for the ride.

Come and Duke it out with me.  Temp will move up to 50F!  Almost summer temp.
We'll dine at the Whitehouse...  general store.

We will detour around the bridge work on Liberty Corner Road by taking Somerville to Minebrook to Douglas Road. This is right at the beginning of the ride and is very easy. I don't see any other route problems.

Lots of good climbs (Hollow Brook, Cokesbury, Long Rd) and a fabulous descent (the other side of Cokesbury) with a great view of Round Valley, we see the reservoir but don't go around it.

Lebanon Boro General Store (mile 20) Mountainville (early - mile 15.6 - Closed Sun, Mon, Tues) Whitehouse General Store (mile 28) Short detour to Kings Plaza (Starbucks, Bagel Junction, Kings) - L on Whitehouse at mile 26.3, R on Main St/CR 523. After food stop, cross Rt 22 at light, follow old Rt 28/Easton Tpk back onto cue.

This is a blend of the 2 previous Mountainville rides with additional loops included. Food stop is at the Oldwick General Store. NOTE: Similar to tour #904, but starting from Pluckemin/Bed-1.

It's forecast to be a warm December day. Come out for a spin. Probably stop at mile 24.4 at the Black Shed. I will lead from the rear.

Come on up to the Flateau for a moving meditation. The climb on Barton Hollow is gentle. Experience the serenity of Kingwood Township. The return trip is a bit more challenging on familiar back country roads.

Probably one of the warmest days coming up.  Let's take advantage of it and have a friendly and Civilized ride in the Holidays Spirit.

Rest stop at Oldwick  General Store.

Stopping at Green Village Deli near end of ride

A minimum hills ride in the Great Swamp area with two loops off of White Bridge Road. *No food stop since Meyersville Cafe closed*.

This ride is frequently ridden by the club because it is a wonderful ride. I will happily sweep anyone who can maintain a 16 mph average.  Very, very, very very short break if needed at Carousel or at the porta-potty around the corner (if no one want to buy anything).  

Similar to tour 636, but shorter and flatter. At 40'/mile climb, it's right on the border of C and C+ terrain.

Here’s a seldom ridden short ride on a brisk morning with just enough elevation to work off last night’s dinner. There will be a couple of new roads for most of you early in the ride, but the rest of the route will be familiar. With the ride under 29 miles, I haven’t scheduled an official stop, but we can refresh wherever.  There are some bathroom stops along the way, Raptor Trust, around mile 10, Environmental Center mile 12, and we could divert to Loantaka mile 20 if needed. Come join me on Sunday. 

This is a very pleasant and scenic ride. Still plenty of country roads here, but expect to encounter some traffic at beginning and end of ride.

I suggest at mile 26 we detour to Oldwick for our break by going straight across the light down the hill & to the left.

 Then U-turn back to get back on the cue sheet for the ride back.

A ride through the gently rolling hills of Tewksbury and Readington Townships. NOTE: Similar to tour #899, but starting from Pluckemin/Bed-1.

Whitehouse General Store (Mile 19 - CLOSED on Sundays) Oldwick General Store (early - mile 14.5) Melicks Farm (mile 26.1)

True C pace.  Hope for warmish weather.  I don't plan to stop except for a quick bar / water / bathroom break.

A beautiful ride through Western Morris and Warren counties with some great, long down hills and surprisingly easy, gradual climbs. by Gene Cottrell

Califon (Bex (open Thur-Sun) or Rambo's - early at mile 16) short detour (0.1 miles) to Quick Check (mile 25.5)

NOTE: 11 AM START TIME!

Let's work off some of those Christmas cookies on a familiar route. Late start time should make for more comfortable temperatures.  C Pace, no one dropped.

This ride travels into the Great Swamp, into Basking Ridge and then back through Morristown, etc.

Basking Ridge - mile 20 - Copper Kettle, Ridge Bagel Fairmount Country Store - mile 12 Country Fox Cafe - mile 25

On December 5th I did this ride in reverse (1082 Ellen's Ride).  It was 'S wonderful! 'S marvelous!  Even though this is the exact same ride as 1082 (but in reverse), RWGPS says it has 100 feet more of elevation. I do not think that is possible.  I will happily sweep anyone who can maintain a 16 mph average.  (I will even sweep for someone who can only average 15.5.)  We will  regroup when we get to the top of the flateau (at 6.4 miles). Very, very, very very short break if needed for bathroom or beverages at Maria’s.

The only climb on this tour is Cherryville Hollow which takes you up to the plateau where you remain until coming downhill on White Bridge Rd. Not only is the plateau flat, but it has very quiet roads. Tour by Muffin Williams (2016).

Kingwood / Bapistown (mile 21)
Cafe Maria - sit down restaurant Corner Store (no restroom).

Twas the day after Christmas and all through the house, all cyclists were stirring to see if there would be a ride. So put down the eggnog, cookies and stuff and join me on Sunday, don't let it slide. Santa guarantees good weather.

Brick Farm Boro Bean

mile 11.9 and 29.3 - Montgomery Arboretum Parking lot (intersection of Harlingen and Mill Pond Rd) mile 12.6 - Montgomery Veteran's Park (Harlingen Rd just before it becomes Devon Rd) mile 28.8 - Mill Pond Soccer Complex (on Mill Pond Rd between Dead Tree Run Rd and Harlingen Rd)

Bring a snack in case lunch stops are closed!

A pleasant ride through the back roads of Sussex County and Warren County traveling many familiar roads in different directions from other rides. Shady lanes and along the sides of many farms.

Allamuchy Store - short detour at mile 19 Tranquility Store at mile 22

This ride is an often ridden club favorite. It has beautiful roads, a central starting location, good distance, and only 31 feet per mile of climbing. Always a fun ride! I would be happy to sweep for anyone who can maintain a 16 mph pace.  Very, very, very, very short break if needed, but I will have a limited supply of  Walkers Shortbread cookies at the finish. (The supply depends on how many I eat today.)

A bucolic tour on a partly sunny day.  I will lead from the rear.  Take note that the start of the ride will be out of lot C which is at the Morgan Pellowski playground

Brick Farm Boro Bean

A nice easy ride to close out December for a small group 

Temps in the mid 40s and light wind

Before the start, we can decide to do the complete ride or just do the shorter 28 mile route
