It is a summer Sunday, so the traffic should be less than normal. I will be happy to wait for anyone who either can ride at a C+ pace, or thinks they can do so (even if it turns out that they cannot). To beat the heat, we should take a very short break, time enough for a quick coffee, and a trip to the restroom, but not enough time for a 3 course meal. We will stop at the Boro Bean at mile 18.4. The first 5 signups get free coffee or water. | 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). | 5: Andy Milstein(C), Gregg Fremed(C), Kari Nicol, Elizabeth Jennison(C), Andrew Diorio | scheduled |

We haven't been to the Lumberville Store in a while. Lots of shade on this ride too. I'll lead at a relaxed pace from the back. Hope to see you. | Get those legs moving via some old roads in a new direction. Cross to PA & back over the Bulls Island bridge. The new Lumberville store has great coffee, hot chocolate & baked goods to be enjoyed by the outdoor fire pits or tables. Tour by Tony Marchand and Pat Kipp (2016). |
