Bicycle Touring Club of North Jersey
 
 

Introduction

Every year, BTCNJ schedules over 2,000 rides for different riding abilities/levels. We are a very active club.

The rides are mostly in BergenEssexMorrisPassaic counties in NJ and Rockland county in New York. But we also have rides outside of these places.

We have rides for new riders and families all the way to experts. So, whether you prefer fast or relaxed (it's all good!), there's a ride for you. But, if you are new to riding with a club, start with a ride you think will be easy.

If you want to become a better cyclist, your club membership can be one of the most effective ways to do that.

Club rides vary by length (of course) but also by average speed/pace (how fast) and terrain (how hilly). (There's more guidance for picking an appropriate ride here.)

If you are used to riding by yourself, note that it's a bit different riding in a group. Also, keep in mind that there are a few requirements and rules to participate on a club ride. Helmets are required on all club rides.
