Riding with BTCNJ

All rides "roll" (depart) 15 minutes after the listed start time. This gives people time to set-up (check their bikes, add air to their tires, etc) and get signed-in.

Club rides are classified by four properties, which, together, give some indication of how difficult the ride is: the (1) length, the (2) speed / pace, (3) terrain, (4) surface (paved or unpaved).

Keep in mind that there are   Rider Responsibilities   and   Group Riding Rules   to participate on a club ride. Helmets are required on all club rides. Class 1 or 3 E-Bikes (pedal-assist only, with no throttle) are the only E-bikes allowed on BTCNJ club rides (E-Bike Policy).

➔ Make sure you are carrying a tube appropriate for your tire and any special tools needed to remove your wheels.

Central Park: See GPS for route. Be prepared and capable. Down westside greenway to 72nd St to enter Central Park.

Let's ride up to Tappan and stop at Sunrise Bagels in Oradell on the return. Regrouping as needed so no one is dropped. Moderate pace, likely average around 16.5 MPH Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. Rides with 20 or more riders will be split into 2 or more groups. ]
Join me for a fun, no drop ride over Bradley to Nyack. Second Breakfast at mile 22. At the upper end of rolling. Probably a middle B pace. It's not July any more dress accordingly.

This route is a slight twist to one we did a few months ago. A few miles shorter and one steep hill eliminated. Rest stop at the Oldwick General Store. Expect a level of effort similar to a "B" road ride. Regrouping as needed so no one is dropped. Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. Rides with 20 or more riders will be split into 2 or more groups. ]

Attention C* and Strong C Riders. There's nothing like the Holiday Season in Mahattan, so let's head out and take it all in. Among the places that we'll be visiting are Hudson Yards, the holiday lights displays at Macy's Herald Square and Saks Fifth Avenue, Bryant Park, Central Park (including a Christmas Market) ... and of course, the World Famous Christmas Tree at Rockefeller Center. The lights will be turned on the 4th, so this will be a very "FRESH" event. With all these awesome stops this will be a full day adventure that tourists would be paying big bucks for ... but it's free with your BTCNJ Membership. Note that while the ride is being advertised as C*, it is because we will be getting off the Manhattan bikeway and navigating the streets of Midtown Manhattan. In view of the traffic and multiple stops, the riding pace will be somewhere in the cusp between C and C*. Hence, strong C riders that are comfortable riding in Manhattan are welcome to join us. Though we have good security guards, bring a lock, just in case! Note that terrain is neither flat nor rolling, but urban. Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. Rides with 20 or more riders will be split into 2 or more groups. ]
