Above: PFW Team at GFNY Cambridge. The THaT team "took 3rd overall with a number of podium age group finishes for the team,", per submitter Joe Eschbach. I, for one, am impressed!

(If you're a member, and have a pic that you think represents the club, send it along for consideration. We might post it!)


We offered over 1000 rides per year in each of the past three years
for cyclists at all levels, and have over 1500 routes available in the PFW Route Library. 60 of our active members lead rides (many of them do so regularly), and over 40 act as "sweeps", ensuring that the people at the back of our groups are attended to. Feel free to check our ride calendar to review current ride listings. Nonmembers are invited to join our rides, but insurance requirements allow one ride before joining the club. Annual membership fees are $35 for individuals and $50 for families. Note that helmets are required and your bike must be in good working condition. Members also are invited to attend several social events that occur throughout the year, and have access to the PFW Route Library (email the PFW Webguy if you are a member who would like the invitation).

Club members please note: if you want to see the club RideWithGPS routes, you must have a club RideWithGPS account. Also, there are listed rides and sections of the site that are only visible if you are LOGGED IN as a CLUB MEMBER. Email the PFW WebGuy if you need direction.

Club members: Get the info on the NJ Safe Passing Law - see the page at the NJ Bike & Walk Coalition. Want to help spread the word about this still-too-little-known law? Click here to see how you can help! Ride Leaders: the NJBWC seeks some volunteers to be part of a focus group, and we think a ride leader or two might be a good fit. Send an email to Dave Speis if you'd be interested in participating.


At the General Membership Meeting, held on March 1, 2021, over ZOOM, ride captain Sue Moser made a presentation on holding virtual club rides on Zwift. She's made her presentation available to website visitors - you can get a .pdf copy by going to the page linked at "Good Reads" in the menu, or by clicking here.

Board meetings are generally the first Monday of the month. Any member in good standing is invited to join. These meetings are being conducted via Zoom. See the specific meeting listing on the Ride Calendar for information about getting an invitation to attend.

RideWithGPS hosted a series to three webinars explaining features on the RideWithGPS site available to club members and ride leaders. Each is about an hour long, and they're full of info. Click here to check 'em out.

Interested in one of the routes on the RideWithGPS page, but there's no cue sheet? Club members now have access to the RideWithGPS Trace and Auto-Trace features. Check out this page on RideWithGPS for more info.

The new, updated (and comprehensive) Ride Leader Guide is available from the "Leader Resources" button at left.
