Will regroup at top of long hills as needed, but riders are expected to achieve advertised pace (which is what our computers read as "average" at the finish). PLEASE PREREGISTER: It saves time; and increases substantially my ability to read the important info on the sign-in sheet; and it does not matter if you do not show up since we will not wait beyond the scheduled start time. P.S. My on-ride phone number is: 215-837-2808.

This ride is based on a route by Mike Krizauskas of BCP, SCU, and the Jersey Shore Cycle Club, originally planned to coincide with the Blueberry Festival in Hammonton, Blueberry Capital of the World. Mike K. has updated this route, to include scenic Lake Oswego, as well as other lakes, ponds, etc. On this 108-miler, there will be several rest stops The route, which is FLAT, will take us through blueberry farmlands, as well as quaint small towns in the Hammonton area. We'll cycle down to Lands End, that is, the end of the road at Great Bay. You'll see a wide menagerie of wildlife, as we cycle across the marshes toward the bay. You'll also see a facility along the bayshore which used to be a Coast Guard facility - it's now a marine research lab. Please note: we may have some headwinds, especially as we approach the bay. The 75-miler does not go to Land's End at Great Bay. Here is the link for the 75-mi route: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/9278854 TRAVEL/TRANSIT: Please allow 45-60 mins driving time from Philadelphia. Google Maps states that Hammonton is 42 mins via the Atlantic City Expressway. If you'd rather not drive, there is a PATCO/NJT train station in Hammonton, near the park where we meet. The "Atlantic City Line" stops in Hammonton. The 108-mile route has 1308 ft of climbing. CO-LEADER(S) WELCOME: If you would like to lead at an alternative pace, THANK YOU!
