C28.4 T3 Milford-Alpha #1 (08/25/2026)

Tue, 25 Aug 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Milford-Alpha #1 28.4 miles & Milford-Alpha #2 28.7 miles (with extra hill)

We roll at 9 AM from the parking lot on Church St. in Milford (Church St. is near the bridge over the Delaware River). The route takes us along the Delaware River on rural roads through several river hamlets and farms. We will see beautiful old houses and pass several old stone barns. About mile 22 we will stop on the bank of the Delaware to enjoy our ride snacks. Route #2 separates from route #1 at mile 17 and adds an extra hill (killer hill). Both routes come back together at mile 22 for the rest stop and continue together, along the river, back to the start.

Back in Milford riders can stop in the small grocery store for a drink and a treat, or maybe a sandwich. This can be a ride day decision.

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 12:30:00 GMT

Ringoes to Frenchtown, returning via Lower Creek Rd.

Due to other commitments, I am unable to lead any rides this weekend (Aug. 29-30). Hopefully, someone will be able to post a ride.

Riders will meet at my Pied a Terre at 8:30, ride to Prallsville and meet up with the rest of the Friday bikers. After a rest stop in Frenchtown, we will ride back to Prallsville and make our way back to Ringoes on rural roads with little car traffic.

I won't be riding from Ringoes, but will meet this group in Prallsville. If you feel a ride leader is necessary, the rider with the biggest hands is the leader.

Ride Starts at 8:30, from 5 Hart Ln. Ringoes.

Arrive early enough so that you are ready to go at 8:30. We are coordinating our start time to meet the other WJW group in Prallsville when they leave at 9:30 for Frenchtown.

Covered Bridges Ride 2026 (10/11/2026)

Sun, 11 Oct 2026 04:00:00 GMT

45th Covered Bridges Ride

Sun October 11, 2026

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.

Rides start and end at Tinicum Park, along the banks of the Delaware River. Join 1,000+ riders from all over the northeastern United States who come to ride through some of the most beautiful areas in this part of the country.
