A little same old, same old, but feels to me like time for another favorite ABLT. The posted route includes the optional very pretty 5 mile loop for those so inclined; 44 miles if you skip the loop. This is the "classic" route; we will make a couple minor deviations a little before and after the GVD for enhanced safety. Expect a mid-B pace, maybe a little faster. Weather looks good. [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. ] 

This is a bit of a hilly ride, but it's oh so pretty. Ravine Lake is always a gem; don't know if the trees will have turned yet. The climb up Pennbrook Rd passes a mysterious structure known as the "Devil's Tomb". The route goes through very rural sections of Morris County; so far as I know, it doesn't pass any delis or bagel shops. If a dining emporium appears, we'll stop at it. Be sure to bring food and drink just in case. Aspirational low 13's. Regroup as needed. No drops. [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. ] 

Please join me on this ride over Franklin Lake to Lincoln Park. This will be a moderate fun ride with coffee/rest. stop at Lincoln Park Hot Bagels. We always regroup on hills and turns and our speed will be to keep the group together [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. ] 

12 weeks of 2026 left and I need to get 8 ride leader points. ** Mission accepted ** If you were wondering where I've been since June (I'm sure the B* folks know from the word on the street), just look at the scar on my right wrist. A relatively simple and flat to rolling loop from Mt. View RR Station that offers no pretenses - and no rest stops either unless you're really hard up because you missed breakfast, in which case we can find somewhere that's quick in East Hanover. Good pack riding skills appreciated and as always, safety first! If no signups by 8 AM day of ride, then no ride. Simple as that... [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. ] 

🚴‍♀️ Route: LP Station → Pompton Hills | 26 miles | High B → Low B* Mostly flat with smooth, scenic roads! 👍 We’ll start at a comfortable 16–18 mph on the flatter sections, then gradually pick up the pace so we can make it back before sunset. 🌅 A few reminders: 🔦🔴 Headlight and taillight are a must. 📍 Please upload the route to your bike computer before the ride. 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️ No one will be left behind as long as we all maintain the posted pace. Let’s have a great ride—see you on the road! 🚴‍♀️🔥 

We're arranging the streets a little differently from our usual routes, with a little more rolling hills than usual. The Glen Rock Duck Pond is both our start site and midpoint rest stop. Anyone could opt to end the ride when we return to GRDP midway. We'll aim for a high C pace (~11 avg). [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. ] 

This is a long time favorite tradition of BTCNJ: A ride at the rural Northwest part of NJ with late afternoon dinner at the famous Walpack Inn https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nature/new-jersey/nj-middle-of-nowhere-restaurant *** NOTE:***PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE DESCRIPTION BEFORE REGISTERING****** You may select to join the ride only, and no dinner. But we encourage you to join both. Please use the comments field to note if you join the dinner. YES, and you also can ask your significant other to join the dinner, but I need to know that and I will need exact headcount for dinner. Please remove your name if your plans changed. If you attend both, dinner and ride, and add the driving time, this is a whole day program and you most likely will not get home before 8pm+. Also, please note that as soon as the ride ends, the club jurisdiction and insurance do not apply, and therefore the dinner becomes a private event. Restaurant will not accept individual payments so we pay as a table, each based on what you consumed. Please bring CASH; recommended $75+, and if you consume alcohol, even more. Please be very careful with alcohol consumption and driving after. Full details will follow later. About the Ride: This is a NEW route, tested once before in 2023, to bypass the Old Mine Road and the stiff climb. Very cool: We pass through 3 States; NJ, NY and PA. Technically 1800 ft over 45 miles will be classified as Rolling, however, the ride has a few reasonable climbs, and some moderate, and therefore listed as "Moderately Hilly". If you are an average B (12-13 m/h), or above, you are good to go [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads, or temperature below 50 ] 

Angelica Diggs, director of the Montclair History Center, will lead us on a tour of Montclair's art colony history. By the late 1800s, a “colony” of artists had flocked to Montclair, taking advantage of the beautiful and inspiring landscape that was within an easy commute to New York. The most famous artist was George Inness, Sr., but he was soon joined by other painters like Lawrence Carmichael Earle, sculptors William Couper and Jonathan Scott Hartley, stained glass artists Emilie and Walter Greenough, and engraver Harry Fenn. More recent artists such as civil rights muralist Don Miller will also be discussed. This eight-mile bike ride takes you past many of their homes and studios. Tour is a total of 8 miles, lasting about two hours. LIMIT 15 RIDERS. Sign up now on the website (listed at C*). Please do not take a spot unless you are definitely joining us. [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. If you signup for a ride and your plans change, please cancel the night before the ride so that we can get an accurate count. ] 

Moved to October 17th

This is a B* no-drop ride — expect a faster pace on the flats, with the overall pace trending toward the higher end of B* as we pick up speed on the downhills. We’ll regroup on the hills and keep an eye out for each other throughout the ride.

We’ll be doing alternating pulls, so do your part, communicate with the group, and help keep the pace smooth and steady. Most importantly, this ride is all about good times, good vibes, and looking out for one another… and of course, COOKIES! 🍪

We’ll make a quick stop at David’s Bagels for some fuel, but we won’t hang around too long — there are cookies to be eaten, and we’ve got miles to ride! 🚴🍪

Rock your favorite BTCNJ jersey and come ready for a fun one!

If the weather is questionable, a GO/NO-GO decision will be posted by 7:00 AM.

[ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. ] 

Join us for a fun No-Drop Cookie Ride! 🍪

There will be plenty of hills and a few sprint sections, so you won’t feel guilty about enjoying those cookies!

We’ll stop at Titanic Deli around mile 24 for a quick fuel recharge before heading back out.

Let’s show our BTCNJ pride! Please wear your 2024 or 2025 club jersey, or any other BTCNJ jersey you may have.

If you have never completed a century this is the one for you. You cannot get flatter than this unless we are going to ride at the shore. This a joint ride with MAFW and Joe Reo will be leading a faster ride. You can join him if you want to try a faster ride but can always fall back to my ride. We will be staying together for the entire ride and I will lead from the front. We will start from the Howe Sports complex as it’s a better starting point IMO. FYI There are about a million quick checks and wawas along the way and there are other places as well. Some of the key stop’s points are as follows: Quick Check Mile 20 WaWa Quick Check Mile 42 Wawa all-star Bagels mile 50 The moth Coffeehouse/Pizza and a quick check Mile 63/64 Princeton University and Thomas Sweet Ice Cream mile 78. Lots of stuff if someone wants to stop Wawa Mile 83 (Last main stop and almost flat from here to the Finish. Description: An easy ride to New Egypt and returning thru picturesque Allentown, with a revised starting point.

Who knew Glen Rock could be a destination? Some familiar roads and some side roads to mix things up. Brief deli stop at Dunkin in Glen Rock, since there are cookies at the end. This will be a moderate B pace, and we will go faster only if all riders can maintain the pace. [ Ride will not go in rain. ] 

This is the same ride as the C* ride, just at a B pace. It is a nice route and we'll be back in plenty of time to enjoy the cookies. Please wear your BTCNJ jersey if you have one. [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. ] 

Please wear your Ride leader or other BTCNJ merch! [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. Rides with 20 or more riders will be split into 2 or more groups. ] 

A COOKIE RIDE for NEW MEMBERS, D RIDERS and C riders, who like a leisurely ride around some pretty neighborhoods of Mahwah and Ramsey. I will take the liberty to deviate a bit from the posted route in order to make it more interesting to the riders who already have done the 12 mile rally ride. Afterwards, we'll enjoy gourmet cookies and cold drinks. If you have one, please wear your club-branded jersey or t-shirt. As a friendly reminder: Bring water, a helmet (mandatory), and have your bike in good working order. [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. ] 
