The days are getting shorter, so let’s get another ride out west in. Sunday appears to be the better weather day. Brief deli stop at mile 30 because the Quick Check has so much ambiance. Please bring plenty of hydration and nutrition, since options are limited. In case you’re worried, the route does not go by The Land of Make Believe. [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. ] 

Ride moved from the 30th. Come join us for a moderately hilly ride and snack at the farm. Stopping at Secor Farms around mile 22 for some homemade apple cider donuts, baked goods and coffee. Hoping to check out the animals. Bring your cleat covers if you have them. [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. ] 

Join me for a pretty ride through Morris County. Note that the route is mostly rural (good news) which means there aren't any lunch stop places along the way (bad news) until Morris Plains @ MP36 (late news), so bring a snack. IF we see a previously unknown emporium on the way we can certainly stop there. Expect mid-13s; no drops; regroup as necessary. [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. ] 

The weather is great for riding so join us on this scenic ride on the North County Trail. This ride will take us from Elmsford to Yorktown Heights and back. Rest stop at mile 5.5 and midway where we will stop for refreshments and break. Unless Mother Nature fools us it looks like good fall riding weather. [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. ] 

All of my BTCNJ friends are invited to join me for a beautiful fall ride in Morris County, and follow up with a post ride lunch at The Exchange in nearby Rockaway Borough, NJ (a 5 minute drive from the meeting place at Gardner Field), followed by a visit to the Mill Lane Tavern a short distance down Main Street. We're going to head north to Lake Hopcatcong, taking the excellent Weldon Road into Jefferson, then jump on Cozy Lake to Newfoundland, and return via Green Pond Road and Meriden. One quick rest stop at the Ding Dong Deli in Oak Ridge, near the right hand turn onto Cozy Lake. Please indicate if you are coming for the ride, the party, or both so I can get a headcount for the apres ride. Safety first and excellent group cycling skills appreciated!
