This route was recently updated by Bill Mastro. It was scheduled to be run on October 27. But was cancelled because of rainy weather.

Bill said, "This is a slightly revised course and a relatively easier 45-50 mile Central Jersey ride with only 1,100 feet of climbing.  Join us for a ride that takes us from suburbia, to Assunpink, to a horse park, to community parks and back to suburbia.  On the way we will travel along trails, bike paths, quiet backroads and some busier suburban streets.  Lunch is at an Italian place that has been very friendly to us.  This is a scenic and fun ride."

We will meet at the Princeton Junction Train station at about 9:30 AM.   We expect some riders will be arriving via car pools, but there are New Jersey transit trains that leave Penn Station that stop at Princeton Junction including one that arrives at about 9:26 - we may adjust as the train schedule finalizes, so check back. One leader, Joseph Shraiber will be on the train. Folks have taken the train on prior rides and met us without an issue. Joe will meet riders at the southwest corner of Penn Station in front of the NJ Transit ticket booth. To get to this location enter at 31st St and 8 Ave. and take the escalator down. NOTE: There is another ride meeting at Penn Station this day. The correct train to take is the 8:14 to Princeton Junction

THIS RIDE REQUIRES PRE-REGISTRATION.  If interested in the ride, please contact Roy Fischman, ropaf@aol.com, and let me know if you will be arriving via NJ Transit, or if you need a ride or if you have a car and bike rack and would be willing to take some riders with you. 

Please bring money for lunch, plenty of hydration, spare tubes, perhaps a lock, and an upbeat inquisitive attitude.
