Time for some day trips!

School will soon be out, and judging from the heat last week, summer will soon be here to stay! Now is the perfect time to plan a few great longer one day and destination rides. We've got three different ones for you - here they are in date order!

The first date is Saturday, July 10th, for a NYC Bridges ride. What a great way to see the city's famous bridges - truly up close! This is a ride for experienced riders, as we will have to deal with taxi cabs, busses and those famous NYC drivers! We will be leaving from Fort Lee @ 7am. If you are interested in more info, drop us a line and we'll hook you up.

The second date is Saturday, July 24th for a 100 mile ride to New Paltz, NY. This has been a perennial favorite - a great ride to a great town. We will leave from bike shop at 8 a.m., and we'll have 2 distance options for the length of the ride. It's approximately 50 miles to New Paltz, and we'll plan to have lunch (and libations, for those who are interested and of age!) at the Gilded Otter (http://www.gildedotter.com/home.htm) when we arrive. For those who want to do a 100 mile ride, we will have a return group riding back to West Milford after lunch. We will also need some volunteer support vehicles to transport those who want only want to do the 50 mile portion of the ride. When you RSVP for this ride, please let us know which length you will be doing (50 or 100 miles), if you will need a ride back, or if you have room for any additional people/bikes for the ride back.

The third date is Saturday, August 14th, for another NYC city ride. We will enter the city via the George Washington Bridge, find our way to Central Park, then move east to Park Avenue. Park Avenue will be totally closed to traffic for a festival, so it will be a nice way to see that part of town. Eventually we will work our way back to the GWB and Fort Lee. Again, because of the challenges of city riding, we recommend this ride for experienced riders only. Our meeting time will be determined soon, so if you are interested, let us know and we'll keep you up to date.

All three rides will require a RSVP by the week before the event so we can coordinate rides, make reservations, carpool, etc. We'll send out reminders as the dates get closer - until then, check your calendars, mark the dates, and make your plans - they will be great rides!
