I have offered to lead a shorter, less hilly version of Rick C's ride. The route eliminates the two hardest climbing sections. Total elevation gain is only about 1,900'. There will be one snack/water stop around the midway point. Periodic regrouping as needed. Plan your mobile nutrition accordingly. Same start time. Same start location. Same $2 parking fee. (The Sickafus store is a neat place that sells all sorts of sheepskin products.) Please arrive at least 15 min. prior to the scheduled start time.

Friendly C+ ride. This will be a true C+ pace. Bring $ for lunch at about the halfway point. We will regroup at top of hills, or as necessary. No one will be dropped. Ride may be cancelled up to 1 hour prior to departure time. PLEASE NOTE 10:15 START TIME.

Relaxed pace (OWLS--Older, Wiser, Longer, Slower) through Fairmount Park and beyond. Bring water, helmet, extra tube, $ for mid-ride snack. Good humor to share on the ride a plus. Sun Screen is suggested. An interesting custom may lead to a free cup of coffee.

A true C ride, which cheerfully waits to regroup. Usually 25-35 miles, usually with a lunch or snack stop. Meet at the Italian Fountain, near the parking garage sign.

This is going to be a casual early evening Halloween ride for the spirited, (and not faint of heart, (LOL)) people who like an unusual ride. NO costumes, but a little something black is appropriate. This will be a Ride, a little Walking and Ride back to the cafe. There’s a good chance you’ll see some 4-legged wildlife, (& maybe even some dead 2-legged kind (?)). DRESS for the weather. BCP rules apply. 18 years and older. Snacks and a flashlight are strongly advised. Plus, again, you must have an extra tube, due to some road conditions and your Bike Lights. Plan on 3 hours.
