Terex	Hilly Century Mid-Week?	Lead	[-]
Posts: 538 (07/14/09 10:30 PM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Tags : None Anyone interested in a hilly century on July 21, 22 or 23? Something similar to Hocus Spoke's ride a few weeks ago that went around the lake up north. A guy who posts on bikeforums.net is coming up from DC and is interested in a ride. His message is as follows: "A group ride or just riding with one other person who knows the roads would be great. I'll pm you again closer to the date but this should store your contact info in my BF mail. I'm thinking July 21, 22 or 23 (Tues, Wed, Thurs.) would be most likely days to do it. If my brother is in shape for a hilly century I'll try talking him into going, too." He's looked at some of our ride chit-chat and says that he would be an "A" rider. I'm pretty sure I can do one of those days, but would enjoy other WJW riders participating. Please let me know if any interest and I'll contact the guy in DC. Terex

That start location will give us good access to hill country. Should be fun. I'll try to post a route, but if anyone has something in mind, please let me know.

I feel woefully unfulfilled as a rider having missed the original. This has led to bed wetting and triscadecaphobia. So please, please, please.

I have it in my file, even if Hocas can't participate (which I really hope he can!). If so, we would start at the Oldwick Park & Ride. It would be a lot closer start for our guest from D.C. who will be traveling from Bridgewater. Let me know if that sounds OK. The Oldwick P&R is at Exit 24 off of Rt. 78 at the intersection of Oldwick Rd. The P&R is immediately adjacent to the exit ramp at the SW corner of the intersection. It's basically a small road leading back to a utility service area that lots of people use to leave their cars for car pools and rides. Easily seen on Google maps. (Mark in DC can read messages on this board but can't post, thus the additional notes about location, and I'll follow up with him in an email when we get this finalized. Terex) Here is bikeroutetoaster course, again, original course courtesy of Hocus Spoke: http://bikeroutetoaster.com/Course.aspx?course=65941 The route didn't quite match my Garmin, and I missed recording a few miles that day. Actual total miles appear to be about 98 and total climbing a little over 7,000 ft., but nothing too steep, as I remember. Last Edited By: Terex 07/16/09 10:56 AM. Edited 2 times.

I can help with navigational support, but if this guy from DC shows up on a Parlee, then all bets are off, and I wouldn't be surprised if somehow we end up on a dirt road or two.

We followed it faithfully. My suggestion would be to do something different in that same area. The only reason I have not chimed in so far is out of deference to Sane Cat who is the route maestro of the club. I am interested in coming along but more interested in Sane Cat's route creation.
Terex	Thanks Hokus!	#8	[-]

But if we have you and SC, we won't need no stinkin' maps. BTW, do you know how to search bikeroutetoaster for maps developed by other people? I've looked at site and did a brief Google search, but can't find any reference.

Will head to Woodglen which should take about 45 to 60 minutes. Will meet TiBoy at the General Store. ~~Route TBD, depending on whether anyone needs to cut it short. Me? I have no life, so I can ride all day if my legs hold up. A big IF.~~ Proposed route. My intent was to keep it fairly close to the start in case we need to cut it short, and showcase some of our nicer roads to our out-of-town guest. Comments? Concerns?

I think it will be a much more interesting route for someone new to the area. Hills, rivers, reservoirs, quiet hollows - I think you've got it covered.

See you guys in the morning. PS: My cog was a little loose, so I tightened it. Hopefully no tick-tick noises now. Thanks for the tip, Don!

Pile on 100 miles of hills (7,660 feet of climbing), shared suffering with good friends over a wonderful course, a pinch of good deed (sharing our world with an out of state fellow cyclist) and enough calorie burn to justify a 1/2 gallon of Bryers coffee ice cream with walnuts and caramel syrup, (while watching the Tour) and you have what Webster defines as "happiness". Thanks Terex and Sane Cat for your leadership roles in this production. Mark, thanks for coming to NJ and providing the impetus for today's excursion. And, "Everyone else- Thanks for dishing out the pain."

Thanks Terex for putting the ride together and Sane Cat for choosing such a lovely and challenging route. The climbs were plenty long and steep enough. TiBoy, glad to know you felt the pain you were dishing out! You and Terex are both very smooth climbers as Marcello noted. George, thanks for the tour commentary along the river. Anytime you guys are in the DC area and looking for a ride, look me up on www.bikepptc.org and I'll be happy to lead you around or connect you with the right group of riders and/or cuesheets if I can't go out. I can be found in the ride schedule leading 'BB' rides. Here are a few photos from the ride: http://s237.photobucket.c...ies/?albumview=slideshow Mark
