Join me for some foliage and beautiful views on a favorite route into Orange County. We'll start by cycling up Clinton Road, pass Upper Greenwood Lake and the scenic Brady Farm, and then make the long descent into Warwick. After that we'll ride through farmland and tree-lined roads before coming back south and stopping for a break in Greenwood Lake (probably at The Grill). After that we start our return along the east shore of the lake and beautiful East Shore Road. Then it's back through West Milford with a final stretch on Union Valley Road.

Let's ride up to High Tor and then back thru New City where we'll stop for coffee at either David's Bagels or Starbuck's. Moderate B* pace is planned with regrouping as needed so no one is dropped. Should see some nice fall colors and scenery! [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. ] 

Our favorite low traffic rural roads. Bring snacks for a rest stop in a park. There won't be a deli stop along the ride.

Hey, all you gravel riders! This is a ride in the premier gravel area anywhere near us! Come on out and join in what should be a beautiful fall day in the Gunks! There is a $20 fee to legally enter Mohonk so be prepared for that. The ride and scenery should be well worth the expense! Bring snacks as well as hydration. We'll find somewhere to enjoy some food, but it may be at the end of the ride in New Paltz. [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. ] 

Thanks to Marcy for introducing me to this lovely route. It's been too long; it's time to go back there and enjoy gorgeous views of the Shawangunks during peak fall foliage. Lunch stop at mile 25.5. No-drop ride. [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. ] 

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.

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

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

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. Rides with 20 or more riders will be split into 2 or more groups. ] 

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.

A COOKIE RIDE for NEW MEMBERS, D RIDERS and C riders, who like a leisurely ride around some pretty neighborhoods of Mahwah and Ramsey.

Halloween season is near, let's get out and enjoy the foliage which should be in full regalia. A new route which is a combo of Val's Goat Hill overlook ride from 2022 and Laurel's b-day ride from the first weekend of October. Rolling terrain with a climb over the Sourlands on Rileyville, then into Mercer County before we roll into Lambertville to appreciate the excellent Halloween displays at the historic homes on Union Street. Photo ops galore, don't miss out on your opportunity to take your picture with Dolly Parton, if you like pink that's your place! Rest stop @ mile 35 in L'ville, there are many options but I recommend the Basil Bandwagon Natural Market on North Union, Luminary Coffee is nearby as well. Safety first always, bring your sharp pack riding skills, regroups as necessary. If no signups 7 AM day of ride then no ride. [ Ride will not go in rain or on wet roads. ] 
