| 04/01 | Wed | 9:45am | D+/C+/20/890 | Burnt Mills Park | Jeff Sperling | 1481 - Bedminster Area Gravel | 45 | Happy April Fools Day, but all joking aside, let’s do a great gravel ride today. I’m starting it early so we finish before the possibility of rain this afternoon. No scheduled stop, please bring adequate fluids and nutrition. Temperatures will be in the 60s at the start, so come join me on Wednesday. | A short, pleasant gravel ride in the Bedminster area. Approximately 75% gravel/ 25% road. Ride ends by taking the paved path from River Road Park back to the Frontage Road parking lot but can be modified by making a right on either Bunn Road or Klines Mill Road from River Road and taking Burnt Mills Road back to the Frontage Road lot.

| 04/01 | Wed | 10:00am | B/B/41/2333 | Pluckemin (Bedminster I) | Eric Lavitsky | 866 - Hacklebarney Long II | 57 | Should be a beautiful day to ride. This route hasn't been ridden since the last time I led it last March. It's a classic route and goes through some pretty areas of Califon, etc. We'll regroup after the larger climbs (Rockaway, Guinea Hollow, Frog Hollow). We'll take a brief rest break by Bank St in Califon, but no other planned stops, so bring plenty of water and snacks. | A variation on tour #566, Hacklebarney Long, with a return on Rte #512 (Fairmont Road East), instead of Black River Road. "Fedora ride" - flat to start and finish with a climb in the middle (gentle to Mountainville on Rockaway, harder out of Mountainville on Guinea Hollow) then a "dimple" downhill into Califon and a climb out of Califon (gentle on Frog Hollow). | CLIMBS:

Hope to see you. | Starts at secluded Ottos Farm Park on delightful Wertsville Rd. and meanders down thru scenic roads to Stockton on the Delaware.
