  We'll meet at the High Bridge Trail Head parking lot off of Main St. to head 11 miles to the Northeast towards Long Valley @ 3:15 pm. Mandatory Head and Tail lights as we'll be riding at dusk and in the dark on our return. Of course Mandatory helmets prevail as usual. Tire width recommendations of 28 mm or wider are strongly suggested for this hard-packed limestone trail ride. Faster riders may go ahead as they're want to do. We'll ride to the coffee shop across the busy road in Long Valley for our turn around point and short rest and snack  break as we likely will not want to cool down too much before turning back towards our starting point.

  Rain, ice, extreme cold, or otherwise treacherous winter affiliated weather conditions will cancel the ride portion of this event. 

  Upon return at ~ 5:30 pm, we'll load our bikes onto/into our cars and drive 1/2 mile back into town for a delicious pre-holiday Feliz Navidad Mexican-style dinner at Casa Maya located at 1 Main St. in High Bridge. The WJW club supplies the (cerveza) beer. You supply the (dinero) $$ for your meal as we toast the end of our riding season.

  Join us even if you're not riding if you'd like. NO reservations needed or taken @ Casa Maya.

  Buenos Dias and Feliz Navidad and Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas and Happy Festivus to all!

  • C14 T1 New Years Day Ride

  Ride description:
  

  Come out and ride and clear the cobwebs from your late-night partying on New Years Eve for the Annual WJW New Years Day ride.

  This will be a low-pace, off-road ride on the D & R Canal on the Jersey and PA sides. We'll start at Bulls Island State Park on the Jersey side, ride down to Lambertville, cross over to PA and ride up to Lumberville and stop at the Lumberville General Store for coffee or hot chocolate and warm up by their firepits. We'll then walk our bikes across the bridge to Bulls Island to return to the start.

  Off-road bikes only. The path on the PA side is a little rough and can be wet. Knobby tires are optimal, but you can probably get by with a hybrid. No narrow tires. There's no chance of getting lost, so cyclists can ride at their own pace, but since this is a social ride, the plan will be to stay together as much as possible.

  This ride is 'weather permitting', so be sure to check for a late cancellation. 

  Helmets Mandatory
