Nov. 2 | DBLS DOGS continue the riding season into November (and beyond...maybe).
Join us for a crisp fall ride in the Hunterdon hills (and valleys). Earlier this year, we planned our Pancake Ride riding the route in reverse but were foiled by foul weather. So we're going to try again. The ride is 24 miles and we will restrain ourselves to a nice, easy pace, taking in beautiful Morris and Hunterdon counties scenery along the way. A mid-ride stop is planned at the Hacklebarney cider mill and post-ride snacks will be provided back at the starting point. For those of you who would like to have breakfast before the ride, the Califon Fire Department is having their monthly all-you-can-eat pancakes, eggs, sausage, toast, coffee, and orange juice event ($6). If you RSVP, then we can meet you and sit together. Either way, come out and enjoy this beautiful, scenic fall ride. |
