Dates to save!

Just a reminder about our annual Thanksgiving Day MTB ride at Wawayanda (Thursday, Nov. 27, for those of you who need to be reminded) - we'll get exact times out shortly! A great way to get ready for all that turkey and pie - don't miss it!!

Second - save the date - it's time for the annual TTC dinner! Open to all 2014 TTC members and all those who join for 2015! This year we're looking at Friday, January 30th - High Crest Lake Lodge. Stay tuned for the particulars. In the meantime, start sending in your pictures - you know how we love them!!! 

Lastly, if you're looking to get a ride in this weekend, TTC's Nick is heading to 6 Mile - meet at the Canal Rd. lot at 11:30 on Saturday. Mountain bike or CX bike will do - and bring those hand warmers! 

Stay warm, everyone!!! 

Thanksgiving news and notes

• Although the weather doesn't look awesome for our T-day ride at Wawayanda tomorrow, nothing will be falling from the sky (rain or snow). It will, however, be chilly. We aren't planning on cancelling - some hardy (or foolhardy) riders will be at the boat launch at 8:30, cold be damned. If you come, bring all the warm riding gear you have - you'll need it! 

• Looking for way to work off that turkey and pie? How about a ride at 6 Mile in Franklin, Somerset County, on Sunday, Dec. 1. We'll meet at 11 a.m. at the Canal Road parking lot. We’ll ride a few hours at an easy to moderate pace. If folks want to bring the kids out, there’s the flat & easy fun D&R Canal towpath right there too. Definitely a variety of riding for everybody! 

          Here's a link to maps of Six Mile Run and D&R Canal towpath  =

          Precipitation of any kind on Sunday cancels. Check back with us early Sunday if you have               any questions about weather! 

• Save these dates! 
• December 22 - one of our favorites - the annual TTC Reindeer Ride! Exact time and place TBD, but block the day out NOW!
• January 17 - our annual TTC dinner! We'll get you more details as we get closer, but make sure you don't miss out on a great evening of food and friends! 

Among the many, many things we are thankful for this year, as always, our TTC family is right near the top of our list. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! 

Thanksgiving plans and more!

• Yep - it's on! Our annual Thanksgiving day mountain bike ride at Waywayanda! The park will be open, and there are enough trails open to make a nice loop or two. Let's meet at the boat launch parking lot between 8 and 8:30 - we'll form groups and try to be rolling shortly after 8:30 a.m. Lots of people have different time tables for the day - there's bound to be a group with the same time constraints as you! Weather is supposed to be excellent - no excuses! 
• Too busy stuffing the turkey to make it on Thursday? No problem - plug in those lights and come with us on Friday night, November 23. Norm and Sherri will host a night mountain bike ride from their place - 49 A Meridan Road, Rockaway. Meet up at 6 p.m. - the plan is hawk watch and back  via quiet paved and dirt roads, not technical, but some good climbing. Afterwards, stay for pizza, goodies, etc. - and please bring something, if you are so inspired - salad, etc. RSVP to Sherri at salbrecht1@verizon.net or text her at 973-727-2660. 
• Save this date for one of our famous NYC Reindeer rides! Sunday, December 16, meeting at KC's Bagels on Route 23 in Pompton Plains at 8:30 a.m. If you haven't been on one of our reindeer rides before, and need antlers, please RSVP to Heather by 12/10 to get your very own antlers! 

As always, we are so very thankful for you, our cycling family - hoping you and yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving! 

Annual Thanksgiving Day Mountain Bike Ride!

Wow, it's hard to believe it's Thanksgiving week already! And if it is Thanksgiving, then it's time for our annual Thanksgiving morning mountain bike ride at Waywayanda. As usual, this is a highly informal deal. We'll meet at the boat launch parking lot between 8 and 8:30 - as groups are ready to go - they'll go! We know everyone has a tight schedule on Thursday, so you pick your ride length - there will definitely be others who have the same agenda as you. Bring your friends, bring your family - as of now, the weather forecast looks good (rain Wednesday, but clear Thursday). It's a great way to start off your day, and earn that extra big slice of pie for dessert! 

For those of you who are traveling this week - safe journey! 

Dinners and auctions and rides - oh my!

We have so much to catch up on - and we're working on it, promise! In the meantime - 2 quick reminders.

1. Night ride tonight - 5:45 - 8:00 p.m., Jungle Habitat. Be there!
2. Thanksgiving day pre-turkey ride - rolling out by 9 a.m., Waywayanda State Park, boat launch parking lot, rain or shine! 

We'll catch up with everyone soon - stay tuned!

Turkey Day Ride!!!

Yep, it's time for the annual Turkey Day ride! Dust off your mountain bike and meet us at the boat launch parking lot at Waywayanda - let's be wheels down at 9 a.m.  We'll break into groups for those who need to head back a little early! Work off that apple or pumpkin pie with us - what a better day to start the day!
