Hello, Cyclists, The Sourland Conservancy is excited to announce the 13th annual Sourland Spectacular bike event, to be held (as usual) on the Saturday after Labor Day. So get out a fat Sharpie and circle September 7 on your calendar! Everybody enjoyed the new venue, which will be back at the Watershed Institute in Pennington for the second year in a row. Another popular new element last year was the addition of beer to the post-ride lunch. The participation fee includes one delicious craft beer, courtesy of Lone Eagle Brewing in Flemington. The giveaway item this year will be a handsome Sourland Spectacular beer glass. And the other usual good stuff, too — pizza prepared on site, subs, brownie sundaes with ice cream from The Bent Spoon. https://sourlandspectacular.com/ Note that registration here is NOT registration for the ride; see the link for that.

This is THE premier cycling event in scenic Bucks County. Held each year on a beautiful Sunday with the gorgeous fall colors shouting out, the CBR, as our members call it, is our best event ever. You have five great routes to choose from -- the family-friendly 20 or 30 mile route (uses the towpath along the Delaware river, which is a fine-cinder and hardpacked dirt trail, for part of these routes), or the hillier 35, 55 or 65 mile rides (all on paved roads) -- plus plenty of great food. Travel through up to six historic covered bridges. Fatter tired bikes work best on the cinder-based paths for the 20 or 30 mile route All rides conclude with a Grande Finale Picnic. Note that registration here is NOT registration for the ride; see the link for that. However, registration here will allow other members to know you are registered.

Join old or make new friends on this highly anticipated annual ride led by Mike Valazza. Expect Low B [avg 15.0-15.9 mph]. Depart from Cranbury at 8:00 am for full century (100 mi).

This year‘s route goes from Village Park to Sea Girt through Asbury Park, up to Rumson and back via Holmdel and Englishtown. Lunch stop at/near Playa Bowls in Belmar (mile 47.1). Rain cancels. Limited to 19 registrants plus ride leader. Once registration is full, text ride leader to be added to waiting list.

To be fair to all the registrants, it is expected that everyone can ride the required pace and distance. To be sure we don‘t get caught in the dusk/dark, we will start at 8:00 am and plan to be back between 3:00-3:30 pm.

I am not sure at this time whether or not anyone will schedule a faster or slower paced century that uses the same route. Stay tuned.
