A Return of a Classic
A Return of a Classic
Sunday, October 18, 2020 - 10:30

I haven't listed this member favorite ride for a few years, since I moved to the east end of LI.  Circumstances allow a return of this classic this weekend. This is a slightly revised course from years back and a relatively easier 50ish mile Central Jersey ride with only 1,100 feet of climbing. - but there are real hills.  Join us for a ride that takes us from suburbia, to almost rural, to Assunpink, to community parks and back to suburbia.  On the way we will travel along trails, bike paths, quiet backroads and some busier suburban streets.  It's been a few years since I last did this ride, so there may some surprises along the way. Also this an advanced moderate ride, please be able to sustain 13mph on the flats.  The pace will usually be 14-18mph.

We will meet near West Windsor/Princeton area around 10:30.  You can easily access the ride via either auto or public transportation. 

Normally, we would stop and for lunch at really nice Italian place, but under the current circumstances, no dice. So, please bring your lunch, snacks and sufficient hydration, as it is very unlikely that we will stop to pick up any food.  Also, as the ride starts late, please be sure to eat a good breakfast and have snacks as a lunch stop will also likely be late as we are not quite sure where we can stop to grab a bite.  Most importantly bring an upbeat inquisitive attitude ready to explore new and unknown areas.

IMPORTANT REQUIREMENTS: A reminder that you must register for the ride and that the exact start location will be forwarded to the registered riders.  Please 'unregister' if you can not make the ride so waited list folks can move up and take the slot.  All riders should come equipped with a mask, hand sanitizer/wipes, a spare tube, sunscreen, snacks and a bike in good condition, as well as being familiar with the current criteria for riding with the Club.
