Level B/B-, 13.3 mph, 72 miles. D&R canal path parking lot off Bridge Street in Frenchtown, NJ. The ride leaves at 8:45 am. THE RIDE IS ON! You've done him. You've done his love child. Now do his grandson. New, even nicer way over the longest hill of the course on the way to lunch in picturesque Belvidere, NJ at the half way point. Return via scenic mostly empty roads through quiet communities with some nice views of the river. Good tune up for next weekend's Brooklyn ride. Two additional, short water stops if conditions warrant, including one at Paul-Mart in Phillipsburg. Can't guarantee a black bear sighting like we had last year, but we'll keep our eyes peeled. Periodic re-grouping after long climbs and descents, but if you are consistently far off the back or front you will be expected to navigate on your own. Due to the length of this ride, it will start on time, so please arrive at the start by 8:30 a.m. at the latest. Inclement weather, including extreme heat, cancels. Check this listing by 6:15 a.m. the morning of for a go-no go message if the weather is questionable. Email for directions to the start by noon the day before. I can probably drive one person from the Fairmount area or nearby 'hood. Cue sheets will be available. The on-line route map is https://ridewithgps.com/routes/15558908.
