Posting a C+ pace given the elevation. I did this route recently and it’s over 2300 ft.  Please be able to do a solid C+ pace. 

Take a left at Mountainville and another left just after Lebanon onto some beautiful roads we don't often ride. NOTE: Similar to tour #909 but starting from Pluckemin instead of RVCC. Tour by Tony Marchand (2013).

CAUTION: Uncontrolled crossing of high-speed, 4 lane Rt 22 at mile 28.2. Choose tour 1016 to cross Rt 22 at light.

06/19Fri9:00amD+/B/29/1800Loantaka-South St., Morris Twp.Manuel Coelho1225 - Loantaka - Hardscrabble - MNHP62

A ride that includes familiar local roads through Green Village and Harding, a sustained climb up the full extent of Hardscrabble Rd (great view from the top in peak foliage season) in Bernardsville and a loop on the tour road in Morristown National Historical Park.

06/19Fri9:30amC/B/32/1852Denville Savage RdPete Aldrich1217 - Old Beach Glen the Easier Way58

Our usual food stop will be at Smartworld Coffee on Diamond Spring Road in Denville near the end.

This tour is essentially the reverse of our popular #848, with a loop through Cedar Lake & Cooks Pond early on.  It tackles Old Beach Glen early on and is a less steep  challenge.  It also reverses the awkward downhill of the pothole filled portion of Kinnelon Ave & makes it a safer route. It also schedules a stop at Lakeside Bagels, and thus eliminates the risky crossing of Green Pond Road.

06/19Fri10:30amD/C/24/899Pluckemin (Bedminster I)Tom Flatley1384 - Let's Eat at Whitehouse Station37

 

We did this ride two weeks ago and enjoyed the variation. 

Please remember your cue sheet and/or GPS file.

This ride is a shortened version of MAFW 1121.   The loop to Oldwick is eliminated.   This ride is about 23 miles long and relatively flat.   The stop is at the Whitehouse General Store at about mile 12.

06/20Sat8:30amC+/B/41/2474Pluckemin (Bedminster I)Joseph Reo221 - Pluckemin-Califon-Oldwick60

I have not been to Califon via a road bikes in 2026.  Time to make that a reality.  Note early start time to beat the heat.  Although a c+ pace we will regroup on climbs etc as necessary to keep as many people together as possible. 

While the route is in a familiar area, it traverses roads that we use less frequently. A couple of tough climbs (between Mountainville and Califon on Water St/Mountain Grove and leaving Califon on West Valley Brook) are rewarded with some great downhills (Hoffman’s Crossing Road and Old Turnpike Rd to Oldwick). There is a nice flat section near Califon paralleling the Columbia Trail and the South Branch of the Raritan River. Also a choice of two great food stops - Bex at the midway point or Oldwick if you want to wait until after the serious climbing is done.

06/20Sat9:00amD+/B/40/2900Hope Park & RideManuel Coelho481 - Hope-Low Gears-Bad Attitude73

Another new tour by Carmine the Last (Stella). This is his famous Lost Tour with many uphill climbs and new roads for you to enjoy. This route earns its name with one longer climb (Millbrook, 400' in 1.5 miles) and lots of short steep ones.

06/21Sun8:30amB/C+/48/2341Chatham Township Municipal BuildingJoseph Reo1460 - CTMB Black River Express49

It’s Father’s Day and we should be back by lunch time.    Ride starts at 8:30 so we should be should be back for any family related activities.   I considered a ride over hell mountain but decided to show some mercy as I did not want you to fall asleep eating dinner with your family. 


For those of you looking for a slightly longer more challenging ride out  of CTMB. 

This route is not to be taken lightly, it hits some of our most favorite roads enjoyed by novices and experts alike. So, get on your bike and celebrate the glory of biking with friends, cheers !!

06/23Tue10:00amC/C/45/1292Colonial Park, Lot C in the Winter, Howe Athletic Center in the SummerMichael Chenkin563 - Colonial-Hopewell for Bridge Out29

Tine for a ride from Colonial Park with some nice climbs.  Nice route; the only thing missing is you.  If roads are wet, I'll likely reschedule for Wednesday.

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.
This is a new end of the ride for the Colonial Hopewell ride with the Bridge Out and alternate route down from the Sourlands. Food stops: Hopewell (a little early at mile 18, but only option now that Peacock's is closed due to 2014 fire).1: Michael Chenkin (C)Scheduled
