This ride will briefly take us off-route to Hoffman Grove, a residential neighborhood that emerged in early 1900 as a summer bungalow resort. Initially, visitors from New York City rented cottages and campsites. Over time, these cottages were transformed into homes. However, decades of flooding led to the implementation of voluntary buyout programs, resulting in the demolition of numerous homes. The area is sometimes referred to as a ‘ghost town.’ Archaeological evidence indicates that Native Americans had been camping in the area long before European settlement. We’ll cycle to the 4.5-mile Pompton Valley Rail Trail and take a break at mile 16 in Lincoln Park. Afterward, we’ll return past the Lincoln Park Airport back to Oakland. This will be a true C* ride.

Gravel bikes, or minimum of 36mm tires strongly encouraged. Bathroom across the street at Bagel Shop. Various port-a-johns along the Route. Back by popular demand of the gravel groupies (you know who you are!).

PLEASE NOTE: All Ramapo Rally riders must be registered and get a RR bib. If you did not register to the Rally, you cannot attend rally rides. Join me in my longest ride of the year. With your support we can all make it. After registering we will meet by the arch, near the parking lot. I would like to start riding at 7:00 am. All riders must have with them, what ever navigations aids they need to be able to INDEPENDENTLY complete their ride (ex. GPS with route and Charged Cell Phone and Paper Cue Sheet, and SAG Phone Numbers). We will share pulling, to make it easier for all of us. There are 5 rest stops, which we will limit to 15 minutes each allowing time for Restroom, food and drink, and restock, then we continue riding. We will regroup as needed. My goal is for everyone to be safe and to have fun. In order to get to rest stops before they close you must exceed a 14.7 MPH pace. Since there are lots of hills, I expect about 19 mph on the flats. I hope to return by 3:30 PM. THIS IS NOT A NO DROP RIDE, even the leader may be dropped. [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. ] 
