Join me for an early start from Limecrest Road.  Rest stop will be at mile 32 - Tranquility Store.  I need to finish by 11:30 am.

No-Go if rain or wet roads.

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).

This is one of the more interesting rides out of the Chatham Municipal complex as it traverses some roads that we seldom ride on.

There will be one route change to avoid riding on RT 202: At mile 23.4 we will continue straight onto N. Maple then turn LEFT at the light onto Madisonville Rd. We will follow Madisonville and Lees Hill to Village where we will turn RIGHT on to Village, putting us back on the route.

While there is no planned rest stop, if the group agrees, we can continue on N. Maple to Ridge Bagel.

This is a different ride from CTMB that we are used too.  This one is looking for the hills, and this one does not disappoint.  There are no planned stops so make sure you bring your legs, fluids and proper nutrition. 

 Join me for an old time favorite. I last led this ride about a year ago. Strong C+ riders welcome. We’ll take a break by the Airport.

Forecast calls for rain in the afternoon. I may adjust the start time or cancel the ride in the morning depending on the conditions and forecast. Will make the call by 8:30.

A fun ride where you will climb until a magnificent 2.7 mile descent on Rick Rd enroute to Sky Manor Airport. There you can take a break at the Café and sit outside watching the small planes taking off and landing. Pass the Beneduce Vineyards on the return trip. Tour by Tony Marchand & Pat Kipp (2017).

This is a great route. The weather will be cooperative. We will make a short stop at Jumboland Diner for fluids. 

This is one of those really nice longer rides in Sussex County over back roads and rolling terrain. Old Schoolhouse Rd. is 5 miles long and you may not see a single car on it.

Sprout Hill/Mary Jane Rd (476' in 2.5 miles @ mile 21)  Belcher to Dry Rd (344' in 1.8 miles @ mil 53)

Swartswood Deli - mile 20.8 Branchville - Jumboland Diner - mile 27.9 Blairstown Diner or Dale's Market - mile 47.2

Yes,🙌 Lake Rd is fully paved. Let’s take advantage of the beautiful forecast and enjoy the views without loosing teeth. Posted at C+ for a Sunday casual ride with a coffee stop at cocoaluxe. Hope to see there !!! 

Starting from CTMB,  a pleasant rolling ride to Cocoluxe and Ravine Lake which avoids climbs on Tempe Wick, Corey and South Maple. Out and back via Liberty Corner.  Rest stops include Cocoluxe at mile 17 and Just Ride Along Bike and Coffee Shop at mile 20.

This is a fabulous ride for visiting tons of New York infrastructure lacing 3 islands together (Manhattan, Wards/Randals, Roosevelt). You will cross the GWB, the Wards Island Bridge, The RFK bridge, and the Roosevelt Island Bridge. 

The weather man just 'guaranteed' a rainless day for Sunday.

The start point has been moved to Fort Lee Historic Park. As a consequence, the ride is shortened about 3 miles and a long end-of-ride, not very scenic, hill is eliminated. 

We'll lunch on Roosevelt Island then take the tram, with your bike, to Manhattan/Central Park.

I recommend that you print and bring a cue sheet.

Bring you camera/gopro with lots of  'film'.  

A NY tour consisting of 3 islands, 4 bridges, and a tram. We visit Inwood Hill Park, Randals & Wards Island, Roosevelt Island, and Central Park in Manhattan. The tram takes us from Roosevelt Island to Manhattan with a short ride to Central Park. Typically, we lunch on Roosevelt Island with a great view of the Ed Koch (59th St.) Bridge, Manhattan, and Queens. We'll tour the new Four Freedoms Park which is a tribute to F.D.R. You will have to carry your bike up and down modest stairs on the RFK bridge and the tram destination in Manhattan. Almost any kind of (not too heavy) 2-wheeled bike will work on this tour, e.g. road, hybrid, mountain. Most of the ride is on greenways, bridges, parks, or marked bike lanes. Central Park is closed to cars on  weekends. Bring money or credit cards for the tram and food.  There's a new, in 2022, Nellie Bly Monument (an American investigative journalist widely known for faking insanity in order to be admitted to the asylum on Blackwell Island - today's Roosevelt Island - so she could report on the horrors there).  Rest rooms: Ft. Lee Historic Park, Wards/Randals Island, Roosevelt Island: near the entrance to the 4 Freedoms Park as well as in the food establishments, Near the base of the GWB on the Hudson River Greenway. 

PARKING: At the start point (Ft. Lee Historic Park), there is a one-time charge, currently $5, for a 1-year Palisades parking permit (includes Ft. Lee Historic Park) for seniors over 62.  Click here for details. Take advantage of this vs. hourly meter charges but don’t wait until the Friday before the ride to apply.

Any kind of bike is appropriate for this ride.
