the weather forecast is for a beautiful day for riding Saturday, and
Rita was already out shopping for food. Neither of us have figured out
what we are riding, but it will be something that i have not ridden on a
previous CR ride.
anyway, directions are linked to a printable PDF on the website:

The previous announcements:
> It is not long now, but still time to prepare and attend the first
> Classic Bike ride of the season in the late morning on Saturday,
> April 19th, Central New Jersey. The details were previously posted
> below, but the website now reflects the second shorter and flatter 19
> mile ride which complements the first for those that feel that easing
> into Spring is more preferable. Both rides have numerous bail out
> options. http://studiofurniture.com/
>
> The rides intersect at one point, and will join up for the last half
> of the shorter ride. Next week I will post an overlay of both
> routes.
>
> The bridge is still out, and i have worked through a couple minute
> detour which does not have any mileage ramifications.

> As sent last week:
>
> Our own Steven M. previewed the scheduled ride yesterday with me, and
> as always, a pleasant late afternoon jaunt. No wind to speak of,
> unusual these past couple of months. A couple of red tailed hawks
> chose to grace us with their presence, a common but always
> interesting occurrence in this area. Anyway, he thought i should
> include an elevation profile for those concerned about these things,
> so i figured out how to do it and posted it here:

> It was quite interesting for me as i have been watching some of the
> televised pro races which illustrates similar terrain profiles. It
> is just like the Giro, 'ceptin just 200 feet verticality instead of
> 5000 feet, and 24 miles instead of 125...

> Steven rode a Colnago, I rode an unknown lugged frame...

> this is the first reminder of the first publicly scheduled CR ride in
> the NE part of the US. The above link will take you to a possible
> route with satellite imagery of the terrain. this is the longest
> ride, but there are many 'bail out' points along the way if one
> chooses. there will be a shorter and flatter contiguous ride which
> seems to first cross paths then meet up with this ride as another
> option. more details forthcoming.... Please let me or Stephen
> Maasland know if you intend to come, as we want to be sure that all
> food requirements are met...

> here is a copy of the initial invite...

> After some polling for availability, we came up with the date of
> saturday, April 19th, for a tour of the rural farmlands of central
> New Jersey. Our location is east of Bordentown NJ, and reasonably
> accessible by public transportation of the light rail River Line
> coming from the south and NJTransit North. Both require some
> advanced notice to accommodate a pickup. My intention is to break it
> up into 2 rides that will meet, one of which relieves the participant
> of climbs and miles that this early date has not been supportive of
> your early preparation. HOwever, both rides are suitable for fixed
> riding, as the longer ride is my daily pedal on a 73.8 gear inch
> track bike. I am an average rider. Please plan to arrive sometime
> between 10am and 11am, we will leave in 2 shifts intending to wait
> for anyone who unintentially arrives late that has given advanced
> notice and it gives some latitude for those arriving by public
> transportation. I have an assortment of 60-64cm bikes available for
> loan, only one having the 'permanent' reservation of one of our group
> members (that is the red Cooper Martin- there is a green Cooper
> available). There are some fixed as well. All are set up with
> clipless, but i have quite a few caged pedals to swap out. Please
> give some advanced notice if you intend to attend, as Rita prides
> herself in her abilities in providing an excellent vegetarian spread.
>
>
> I will be following up with reminders, maps and photos of the routes.
>
>
> We are looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible. On
> topic rides are preferred, but all are welcome (even French
> bikes)...If anyone has a 'theme' in mind, don't hesitate to suggest
> it.
