Ride Calendar

Level B ish, 91 miles. Flourtown picnic area Fort Washington Park. The ride leaves at 8:30 am. If you would like to try almost a century, this is a nice tour of Bucks and Hunterdon Counties. The ride grading system is sometimes not a precise measure. As a minimum, please be able to do a 15 mph average on level ground for an extended distance. I will not leave anyone stranded on this long of a ride, but if you cannot maintain that kind of speed, it will be a very long day. There are elevation changes, but the grades are not severe. The section in New Jersey is flatter than your average pancake. Please bring at least 2 big water bottles, 2 tubes, and a pump or 3 CO2 cartridges. This is a long ride without SAG. >>>WEATHER UPDATE. I AM MAKING TWO SHORTER VERSIONS OF THE RIDE, ONE IN THE 45 MILE RANGE, AND ONE IN THE 65 MILE RANGE. I WILL CHECK THE FORECAST FOR WHEN THE RAIN IS SUPPOSED TO START AND DECIDE WHICH ONE TO USE WHEN I ARRIVE AT FLOURTOWN.<<<

Level B/B-, 60 miles. Green Lane Park at Deep Creek and Snyder Roads. The ride leaves at 8:30 am. The Univest is a pro race which is scheduled for September in Souderton. The amateurs get a chance to ride the same course the pros ride. This is a preview of the course. It is rural. There is one H2O stop at just about half way (30 miles). Please bring H2O bottles big enough to go the distance. Those who wish can challenge the mighty Eichele Road which maxes out at 26 percent. There will be an option around this climb at a tame 8 to 9 percent. It is a hilly course. Absolutely not a "C" level ride, but if you can "B", we will regroup and make what pace we can.

After the clean-up, we will ride to the Polish American Club in Phoenixville for breakfast. If you help with the clean-up you could win a free all inclusive breakfast. We will deal poker hands to the clean-up crew. Top three hands win a free breakfast. If you lose at poker, no sweat, you can still get a great breakfast for just six bucks. Note: If you want to help with the clean-up and not ride, that's fine, too. I have to know who is coming. So, call or e-mail me, (the earlier, the better), if you want to join us.
