Calendar for 7/2004

The First Ever Sugarbarb Farm Stolen Ride
Saturday
Jul. 3 Warren County is known for its hills. Come explore some new ones with us. Walt & Claire (from whom the ride is being stolen) are the route masters; they know where the finest hills in Warren County are hidden. Plan on about 30 miles, up and down but coming back to the same bucolic start just the same. Barbara and Tracy want to provide the departure location and the post-ride festivities. Sugarbarb Farm lends itself well to the event.
We will meet at the farm house, have a snack, a drink, a chance to recycle used coffee, then drive back down the drive, park on the grass at the end of the farm drive (read 1/4 mile of gravel, hard-packed but still unpaved), take our ride, pick up the cars on the way back, reconvene at the farm for BBQ, swimming, boating, farm tour (for the adventurous), tennis, and, of course, the time-honored kicking of tires and telling of lies. Indoor and outdoor showers. Hats, swim suits, towels, tennis racquets and sunscreen could prove to be handy.
Time 10:00 AM
Location Sugarbarb Farm, Blairstown, NJ
Distance 30+/- miles
Terrain Mostly rolling with a couple of short, steep hills.
Refreshments Barbecue after the ride
Host Barb and Tracy Cate
Contact Barbara and Tracy Cate, 908-362-6838 (farm), 973-762-5163 (home)
Directions
Exit 12 from I-80 (Hope-Blairstown exit), towards Blairstown.
~ 1/2 mile, R on Silverlake Road (Warren County Route 608)
Go 5 miles, Sugarbarb Farm is the last drive on the right before Silverlake Road intersects with Rt. 94 in Marksboro.
As you are approaching the five mile mark you will be going downhill with a good view of the distant mountains. Genesis Farm has its sign on the right and farm fields on the left and right. Then there will be two single family homes on the right; we are the next farm drive. We have no box number posted, but there is a pretty neat Sugarbarb Farm sign done by the grandkids a few years ago. If you go as far as Rt. 94, you need to turn around, come back up the hill, and make the first left.
As you come in the farm drive, go past the barns, past the wood fiber resource and recovery facility, stay straight at the Y, pass the tennis court, up the hill past the white house and, voila, you are at the farm house.
