11/30/25Sun 10:00amC/C+/33/1108Pops Bike ShopMichael Chenkin1495 - No Rest for the Weary from Pop's **CANCELED**34

Help me celebrate my 72nd birthday with a new start point at Pop's Bike Shop.  Hopefully the weather will cooperate.  Optional after-ride and non club-related meet at Village Brewing Company, a brewpub located practically across the street  from Pop's.  Free parking in Somerville on Sundays and parking is available in the lot behind Pop's Bike shop, accessible by turning on Warren St and into the parking lot.

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 I have a cardiac condition. 
  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.

Similar to 1024 but starting from Pop's Bike Shop

12/01/25Mon 11:00amC/C/23/894Pluckemin (Bedminster I)Jeff Sperling754 - Pluckemin to Oldwick via RVCC **CANCELED**39

After 2 months of healing, I’m ready to start leading rides again. I selected this ride because it will be short with just the right amount of climbing to warm you up. Plus we get to travel one of my favorite roads, Burnt Mill Road.   The weather forecast will be sunny with temperatures in the high 30s. No scheduled stops but chips and Fritos of course at the end. Looks like snow on Tuesday, so come out and join me on Monday. 

NOTE: Similar to tour #902, but starting from Pluckemin/Bed-1.

Food stops:
Oldwick General Store (mile 13.5)

Back from a two month healing hiatus, ready to lead rides again.  I’ve picked this ride which has enough climbing to warm us up but not tie up your day. No scheduled stop, but Fritos and chips will be ready at the end of the ride. Sunny and upper 30s to start.  Come join me on Monday. 

Scenic, enjoyable cycling on the quiet back roads of Somerset County. Similar to tour #1094, but shorter. Tour by Jan Gorban (2017).

12/01/25Mon 11:00amD+/B/25/1793River Road Park in BedminsterLou Blanco1453 - Gravel to Cider Mill72

Not the same old same old. This ride starts from Burnt Mill Park. It travels on a few roads north of Pottersville Road that we seldom ride on.  This will be my first time doing this ride, so come and discover it with me. D+ pace but faster riders are welcome. We'll regroup as necessary. The break is at the "green door".  Bring a snack and tires wider than 32mm.

A gravel ride to the Cider Mill farms.
