Strasbourg, PA next on my travels, inviting all BCP members to join me on this short adventure. Oct. 1, cycling from Philadelphia to Downtown, PA, getting a motel for the night.

NOTE: 10:00 START IN OCT. Bring yer bike & sense of adventure. Some days we'll ride familiar favorite routes, other days we'll scope out new routes. Today, following a park rest stop (water and bathrooms around mile 17,) we'll ride to The Bagel Barrel in Doylestown (mile 23.5) for a bite to eat. We'll explore a few new to us roads for a short stretch here and there, otherwise, a familiar (and easy) route to most of us. Will regroup as needed, but must be able to maintain the posted pace. Must be willing to ride safely & obey traffic laws. Check day of the ride if weather is iffy (rain cancels). NOTE: Last ride of the month will start from Central Park, Doylestown. NOTE: In November, the ride will be ad hoc - the weather forecast will determine the day of the week that we ride. All things being somewhat equal, we'll shoot for Tuesday.

Nothing special, just a simple ride for breakfast at the Mayfair Dinner. City cycling all the way out and all the way back.

Nighttime rides on beautiful low-traffic roads. Rolling to hilly terrain. Lights are required. No one dropped, but please be prepared to ride the advertised pace. Temperatures below 20 degrees cancels. Precipitation cancels. Snow and ice on the route cancels.

Lunch stop at Plymouth Meeting at Mile 36. Total elevation gain 2572 ft, per RWGPS.com. Cross the Wissahickon Creek, and explore some quiet, pretty roads.

Great roads with low traffic. We have a few routes that bring us out around or through Ridley Creek State Park.

Park in the far rear parking lot next to the Delaware Canal bike path This is a beautiful ride thru the wooded areas of Hunterdon County to see the majestic "Round Valley Reserviour". Very light traffice route.. Our route involves climbing up two ridges to get to the reserviour. Moderate climbing with one steep 3/4 mile climb up to the reserviour at around mile 30.

Rain date is Sunday Oct. 6th or you can also join us again on Saturday Oct. 19th when we'll repeat this same ride again. We expect this ride on Oct. 5th to be a little warmer than the Oct. 19th repeat which will probably be a littler cooler with allot more fall foliage colors. We plan to have the following 5 ride paces for both the Oct. 5th and Oct. 19th rides: 13-14; 14-15; 15-16; 16-17 and 17-19 mph

We will regroup as necessary and wait at turns within ride level expectations. YOU MUST CARRY A SPARE TUBE. Ride may be cancelled up to 1 hour prior to departure time.

Consider this the next step up from the Toss of the DIce "C+", further (50 - 70 miles) and with more hills (4,600). The average speed (measured at end of ride) is likely to be 14.5 - 15.5 mph, it is the hills that push this into the B category. We will regroup as needed, but riders are expected to ride group pace. Bring food or money for snack along the way (lunch stop at Wegman's) as well as a spare tube. Check daily listing for route information. Ride may be cancelled up to 1 hour prior to departure time.

We'll call this B+ because I plan on averaging around 16-17 mph. You need to be able to handle a 100 mile ride as the route is slightly different in NJ.

What is The Round Valley Reservoir? It's a lake on top of a little man-made mountain! We'll climb up this little mountain just before our lunch stop to see this gorgeous Round Valley outdoor recreation area. This, the first of two separate "Round Valley Reservoir" rides, is run with the hope that the temperature will be on the warmer side. The second ride, identical to the first, will be on Saturday, October 19 (no rain date). It is expected to have cooler weather but more fall foliage. Another reason we're running this ride on two separate dates is to help manage the expected large number of riders (the last time we did this ride back in 2017 we had close to 75 riders total). If you love this route ride on both the 6th and 19th and double the fun! Available Ride Paces: C+ 13-14 mph, B- 14-15 mph, B+ 16-17, Note: Ride leaders may be different for rides held on the 5th versus the 19th! Please be prepared to be able to maintain the pace of the ride of your choice, plus obey traffic laws. Ride Description: Very scenic 60 mile metric century ride thru the backroads of Hunterdon County, NJ. Much of the first 20 miles is a slow but beautiful climb of varying rollers and hills (nothing mountainous) followed by some screaming downhills. Mile 25.5 starts the climb of the day, up Allerton and Valley Crest Rds., followed by more downhills past the reservoir and then to our lunch stop - a sit-down lunch (mile 34) at the now iconic Jerry's Brooklyn Grill (affectionately known as "EATS") in Whitehouse Station, NJ. The remainder of the ride is mostly rolling hills and flat sections. If bathrooms are needed before the start of the ride use the Lambertville CVS which is just south of the Holcombe-Jimison Farmstead lot at the intersection of Main and Cherry St. Note that we are using a slightly revised route this year which will feature the 1st rest stop at mile 14 (Shell Gas Station) instead of mile 28 (now an optional 2nd stop).

On the way back, we will do the Skippack Trail back down to the Perkiomen Trail. The scenery is great, the CX race should be entertaining, and Hennings is a great food stop. We will take an easy pace and regroup on hills.

The Melrose Diner is a ture icon diner. I may have only been there once. The booths were like a horseshoe, really big, could fit six/seven. So to maximize the seating, when most customers come for a table for two, there was a divider so you most likely sat with strangers on the other half of the both! I understand they have changed this. Also during election season almost every candidate MUST stop here! We will stop here after a ride through the Philadelphia Naval Yard.

We will regroup as necessary and wait at turns within ride level expectations. YOU MUST CARRY A SPARE TUBE. Ride may be cancelled up to 1 hour prior to departure time.

There are four Saturdays in October. Let's ride to four different Diners in Delaware County. This week to Sungate Diner in Marcus Hook, PA. Depending on the wind direction, we will cycle around back of the Philadelphia International Airport on the way or on the way back!

I want to attend a Saturday morning movie at the Philadelphia Film Festival. Canceled the Oct DIner Ride - Delaware County. But didn't want to disappoint anyone who were wanting some kind of ride this morning. River Wards Cafe in Port Richmond will be the destination. Back by 11:15 am.

Day 2 of 3 at the FALL FOLIAGE WEEKEND: one of the several ride options at this weekend event will be a tour of Irishtown, Biglerville, orchards, and a little taste of the Battlefield at Gettysburg. Scenic meander which begins at the Hampton Inn of Hanover, and winds through quaint towns and green countryside. Brief rest break for bathroom and coffee at Mile 13. Lunch stop at Mile 34 in Biglerville. Ride through a portion of Gettysburg Battlefield, and we can stop at the Visitors Center. At Mile 45, we have an option to detour off the cue sheet for a couple of miles to visit a historic covered bridge. Return to Hanover via Bonneauville. There is a convenience store at Mile 57, if needed. The main route is 71 miles. If riders would like to visit a few more landmarks and monuments in the Battlefield, this will add a few more miles (~75 total). Total elevation gain is 2621 ft - not too much climbing.

Very scenic ride in Bucks County. May take in a little of Hunterdon County across the river. Depending on weather, ride may be bumped to Sunday. No drop ride.

Chester Creek Trail or Cobbs Creek Trail? Both. We will follow the C Spinoff route to Media, then south to the Chester Creek Trail, built on a Civil War era rail line beside the Chester Creek. Several neighborhoods and the Bicyclist’s Baltimore Pike later, we ride the Cobbs Creek Trail, Pine, Spruce, and South Streets back to Schuylkill Banks. H2O stop at mile 19, optional H2O stop at 34 or 38 miles. This ride is designed as a sight seeing tour, and much of the route is flat, but... there are a few lumpy hills. It is a definite step up from the Spinoff. The pace will be moderate with regrouping. Bring the camera.

Meet at Cadence Cycling and Cafe located at 201 S 25th St easily accessible from the Schuylkill River Trail. Explore the Germantown neighborhood with lunch stop at Sister Muhammad's Kitchen, famous for their incredible fish hoagie.

OWLS (Older, Wiser, Longer, Slower) paced ride for any age through Fairmount Park and beyond depending on the group assembled. Please bring water, helmet (required by the club), extra tube, and $ for mid-ride snack. Recommend you bring sun screen to be applied mid-ride. Many smiles will be needed.

A true C ride, which cheerfully waits to regroup. Will ride to Flourtown for lunch. Ride cancelled if raining or 50 percent or more chance of rain at start.

We will just go straight out and back to The Cafe At Riverbend for Suzy-Jo donuts without going on to Bridgeport, PA seven more miles along the Schuylkill River Trail.

Bring yer bike & sense of adventure. Some days we'll ride familiar favorite routes, other days we'll scope out new routes. Today we'll ride to C'est La Vie French Bakery and Cafe in New Hope (mile 20, yummy). Expect lots of pretty country roads, a relatively tame route to New Hope, with more hills on the return (particularly leaving New Hope, and then there's Valley Rd. - long but not steep) and good company. Will regroup as needed, but must be able to maintain the posted pace. Must be willing to ride safely & obey traffic laws. Check day of the ride if weather is iffy (rain cancels). NOTE: IN NOVEMBER THE RIDE WILL BE AD HOC WITH DIFFERENT RIDE START LOCATIONS. WEATHER FORECAST WILL DETERMINE THE DAY OF WEEK AND TIME WE WILL RIDE. ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL WE WILL SHOOT FOR TUESDAY.
