Level D: 9mph, 20 miles. Meet at Cosmic Cafe, Lloyd Hall, # 1 Boathouse Row, Kelly Dr, East Fairmount Park . The ride leaves at 9:00 am. I have been waiting for this coffee shop to open for two years! unityjava.com . I was hoping Mel's Kitchen would reopen in this space scince they were forced to close to be tourned down and make way for this multi family development to be built on the extensive property. We will approach the new establishment via the Manayunk Canal Tow Path and up Shawmont, climbing up Umbria St, which is a more forgiving climb than from Levering St. Since Unity Java is close to the future Ivy Ridge Trail which will connect the Cynwyd Heritage Manayunk Trail Bridge to the Ivy Ridge Train Station and the final segment of the Schuylkill River Trail to Shawmont St /Nixon StreetTrail Head, we will take the gravel portion of the Ivy Ridge Trail on the return to our start. If KYW is reporting rain outside their studio one hour prior to start, ride cancels. Cue sheets will not be available.

Levels B: 14-14.5mph, B-/C+: 13-14mph, 63 or 53 miles. Meet at Frenchtown - parking lot just below Bridge St, between river and Canal Trail. The ride leaves at 8:00 am. Hilly but pretty loop through Warren and Hunterdon Counties, NJ, to the scenic Merrill Creek Reservoir. New & improved route by Charlie B. Ice cream at mile 58. This route includes a couple of 400-ft climbs, and one 640-ft climb, but the vistas from the summits are magnificent. We'll be riding mostly on quiet and shaded country roads, but also passing through the quaint towns of Milford, Riegelsville, Stewartsville, and Bloomsbury. Initial and final stretches of the route, along River Road, are flat. The challenging hills section, ~10 miles of climbing, is in the middle. Total elevation gain on the 63-mi route is 4090 ft, but we will stop to regroup as needed. Food stops at mile 24 in Stewartvsille (before climbing to the Reservoir), and at mile 46 in Bloomsbury. (We'll also have a brief photo/scenery stop at the spectacular Reservoir at mile 31.) From the food stop in Bloomsbury, we'll descend to the village of Little York, then return to Milford and Frenchtown via downhill-to-flat roads. Depending on where you live, please allow an hour for the drive to Frenchtown. 53-Mi short-Cut Option: Charlie B. has developed a 53-mi alternate route which avoids the steep climb to Merrill Creek Reservoir, but still stops at the Tauro market rest stop. This is the link for the 53-miler: ridewithgps.com/routes/37360255, with 2990 ft. TWO LEADERS, TWO PACES: Haroon will lead a 14-14.5 pace group, and Linda will lead the 13-14 group. IMPORTANT DETOUR NOTE: there is a bridge closure between Frenchtown and Milfor, crossing a creek. The detour will be to cross the bridge to PA, then use PA-32/River Rd for the three miles between Frenchtown and Milford. This does not significantly change the distance. Cue sheets will be available. The on-line route map is https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48209311.
