Bedminster Flyers Cycling Club

Welcome! The Bedminster Flyers has been a recreational cycling club in the Somerset Hills area of NJ for over a decade. (Members are called Flyers.) We ride on Wednesday evenings from April through October. Rides end before dusk, routes are rotated and updated by the Ride Leaders, and cue sheets are not handed out.

HELMETS ARE REQUIRED!

Starting location: The Sports People, 49 U.S. Route 202, Far Hills NJ 07931

With the season under way, a reminder: there's another business right next to the Sports People. Be a peach and don't park directly in front of the shop; Steve and his neighbors will thank you. Besides, all the cool kids park in the gravel lot or in the shed on the train-station side. Be a cool kid.

What's new?

6-30-2010: The Club is now a Road ID Affiliate. We get a small fee from Road ID for every signup done through this website. Do you something good for yourself and something good for the Club: get a Road ID.

6-17-2010: Thinking of fall already? Then think about the Peak Season Century Ride around Lake George, NY on Saturday, October 2. There's 3 rides from 25 to 100 miles, and it benefits the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

6-16-2010: Now that summer is almost here, it's time to start thinking of... the End of Summer Picnic. The festivities will take place on Sunday, September 19. We’ll have rides leaving from Pickell Park at 10:00 am. The picnic will start after the rides end (around noon). Kids are welcome to join us at the picnic. The Club will supply hamburgers, hotdogs, condiments, and soft drinks. Members will be asked to bring salads, desserts, or beer/wine to share. We will need a few ride leaders too! Watch this space for more information.

6-15-2010: Registration is now open for the Mystery History Tour, (100 miles, August 15) from Greenville NY to Lambertville NJ. It's limited to just 35 riders, so take care of your entry soon!

6-14-2010: We posted this message from Gail Cookson about the Adopt-a-Road Program a couple months ago. We're not done yet, so please consider volunteering for one (or both) of the remaining sessions.

5-24-2010: There's a new entry on our Events calendar: PASA's 3rd Annual Bike Fresh Bike Local (a "family fun" ride and 3 others from 25 to 75 miles, September 26). In addition to some great riding, entrants get a tee shirt, lunch, and beer.

4-21-2010: Added to the Events calendar: the 6th Annual Century for the Cure Bike Ride in Warren Township (40 or 100 miles, September 11).

4-21-2010: A couple members made it to the Business page: Mitch Frieber and his Bedminster ON-SITE Drapery Care (btw, they do a lot more than drapes), and your beloved Webmaster.

4-5-2010: A common-sense courtesy is now an official Club rule. Texting or phone calls during a ride will get you sent home – alone and immediately. Don't do it! Headphones are a no-no too. You can't wear them, even if they're turned off. Leave them in the car.

3-21-2010: Added to the Events calendar: the 30th Annual Princeton Bicycling Event (August 7), and the Gran Fondo Colnago Philadelphia (August 8).

3-8-2010: A few pictures from the Winter Bash, compliments of Bob Groff. (If you weren't there, you should be sad you missed it.) Let's all have a big cheer for Kimberly Borin for doing such a great job.
