If you missed a few years ago the New Jersey Farmlands ride, here is your opportunity to ride through quaint towns and one of the most scenic areas of New Jersey. Our training program continues to focus on group pacing (GP) where we may naturally break into smaller groups.  Be comfortable in navigating with a cuesheet+speedometer, RidewithGPS or Garmen.  You might be leading your group or help another co-rider to follow the directions.

Group Pacing:

The rides will NOT feature point-drop-sweep. We will cycle as a small coherent group with NO DROPS.  We may break into even smaller groups that have different paces (speed). The goal is for you to find your comfort zone (speed) that you can consistently maintain for 50 miles. Breaks & snacks should be taken with your group.

It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED for everyone on the trip to install Geozilla on their phone (and ensure their phone is not in airplane mode)! There are instructions below on how to get Geozilla for your phone. At the end of the trip the leaders will wait for all groups at the train station.

You need to be comfortable using RidewithGPS, Garmin, or reading a cue sheet and tracking it with your speedometer.

We ask you that you use Geozilla so the leaders can track you for the ride.  Make sure you download Geozilla on your smartphone BEFORE the ride and have it set up and working.
