06/24Tue 6:00amC/C/22/772Loantaka-South St., Morris Twp.Elizabeth Jennison859 - Loantaka-Hickory Tavern-Great Swamp35

Sizzling summer temperatures in the afternoon.  At least temperate for the early morning; we will be done before it hits 80 degrees.

Anyone who is time crunched can just turn right at the Meyersville Circle and save a few minutes.  Last time we rode this route I finished at exactly 7:30 am doing the full route. 

Follows familiar roads with a slight variation. Leaves Loantaka Park to the right, follows Woodland, Green Village, Southern Boulevard, Fairmont, Meyersville, uphill to a left turn onto Long Hill Road and left on Hickory Tavern for a nice downhill into the Swamp and home to the barn (I mean park), following Spring Valley instead of the usual Dickson's Mill, etc.

Food stops:
Mountain Hill Bistro (mile 11).

06/24Tue 8:30amC/C/37/934Colonial Park, Lot C in the Winter, Howe Athletic Center in the SummerAndy Milstein1043 - Leave the Gun Take the Cannoli25

Early Start to beat the heat. Also one of the club's flattest rides, and one of the most beautiful from Colonial Park. School is out, 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 short break, but I will see what everyone wants to do.

If everyone is a little  hot and wants to cut the route by 5 miles, we could make a left instead of a right at 518 (Mile 17) and take our break at the next turn (Great Road, Miles 17.9).  See https://ridewithgps.com/routes/51392136

 

Turns out it is possible to get to Hopewell without going over the Sourlands, making this route very flat - almost D terrain. A pleasant ride to Hopewell on familiar roads through Somerset and Mercer counties. Food at the Brick Farm or Boro Bean which never disappoint. No guns or cannoli's. Tour by Les Garber (2016). Food stops on this ride: Hopewell (mile 20) Port-a-johns:
    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)

Bon Ton Roulet | Auburn YMCA The Bon Ton Roulet is a five day bicycle tour through the beautiful Finger Lakes Region of New York State. Our fully supported tour takes cyclists from wide open farm fields, past stunning overlooks of our lakes, to cavernous water-carved gorges, National Historic Sites as well as award winning wineries. The Long Route appeals to those riders who love the challenge of a 60-75 mile ride per day. The Regular Route, typically 40-50 miles per day, tends to attract newer riders & those who plan on spending the day leisurely browsing the markets &  attractions along the way. Many riders even switch back & forth between routes during the week, making the Bon Ton the perfect tour!  Check out the website below for more info and to register.  After registering with Bon Ton please sign up on the MAFW ride schedule so we know who is going.
