Calendar for 4/2004

Calisunna - Succafon Ride
Sunday
Apr. 4 A NEW ride that is easier to do than to pronounce. This is the un-official SOS/DST (start of season/daylight savings time) ride. We will be riding out of Califon on familiar Frog Hollow Road. But instead of our normal turn through Hacklebarney State Park, we will proceed northeastward towards Succasunna. Our mid-point will be a stop at the Isherwood's home for snacks, etc.; then return to Califon via Pleasant Hill Road, a nice downhill to see if your bike (and stoker) can handle 50 mph!
Time 9:00 AM (breakfast); 10:15 AM (ride)
Location Califon Island Park, Califon, NJ (Port-o-John available)
Distance 35 mi.
Terrain Rolling to hilly, but not as bad as the now famous Bissel Rd. 2-mile uphill grind from our last ride.
Refreshments Optional Califon Fire Dept's monthly all-you-can-eat breakfast for $6 at 9 AM. Mid-point stop at the Isherwoods. Dutch treat pizza at Nicola's in Califon after the ride. (We did this after our last ride and everyone enjoyed it.)
Host DBLS DOGS: Larry and Brenda Isherwood and Dave Snope and Susan Nicolich
Directions For viewing | For printing
Followup Rescheduled for 4/18. (Arctic aberration annuls another anticipated animals activity.)

Offroad on the Delaware - Raritan Canal
Saturday
Apr. 10 Calling all off roader DOGS! Join us on a leader-led ride (no cue sheets) from Amwell Road (Route 514) in East Millstone to Kingston along the Delaware Rartian Canal Tow Path. Possibly a side trip to Six Mile Run State Park. There are no wrong turns off the path except into water and we don't think the weather will be warm enough for a dip.
Time 10:00 AM
Location Delaware Raritan Canal tow path. We will leave from the parking lot on Amwell Road (Route 514) in East Millstone. The parking lot is between the bridge over the canal and the bridge over the Millstone River.
Distance TBD by weather and the group. We will try for approximately 25 miles if conditions are good.
Terrain Flat, packed dirt with some rough sections. A little on-road riding to get to a cafe for a rest stop. Wide tires needed.
Host Ed and Tricia Troike
