Logistics

We have rides on Monday and Wednesday evenings, from April through September, starting from Far Hills Fairgrounds which is on Peapack Road, just up from Route 202. D-level & new cyclist rides are held concurrently at the same location. Beginner rides are held on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of the month. All rides regroup as needed. The D-level ride may have a rest stop.

 

Email the D-ride Coordinator to be placed on our confidential New Member D/D+ Ride e-mail list – or with any questions relating to the D or D+ rides.

 

Ride levels and average speeds are shown here.

  • We ride on paved roads. Road bikes are recommended & preferred, but we do have riders using tri-bikes, hybrids, and even a recumbent.

  • Rides start at 5:30pm in April, at 6:00pm from May through August, and at 5:30pm from September through the end of the season.

  • Rides usually end before dusk.

To ride with the Club on Mondays, Wednesdays, or on other Club-promoted rides, you must be a member.
