Any interest in doing the Warwick Loop this Sunday?

It starts and finishes in HoHoKus, NJ. The ride takes on several big hills for the area in about 75 miles. They include Skyline Drive (1.5mi), Old Westbrook (2mi), Upper Greenwood Lake (1mi), Mount Peter (2mi), Sterling Forest (2mi), Old Route 210 into and out of Harriman (2mi then 1mi) and then rollers back to HoHoKus. And if you're still feeling frisky, you can ride home. I'd like to start at 8:30 in HoHoKus.

Notes:
Yes, it's a real town. It's about an hour by train, about 18 miles from the GWB.

Train leaves NY Penn at 7:11. In HoHoKus at 8:17. People can drive, too. When I get a sense of whose coming and how, I'll find appropriate parking.

One planned stop. Warwick.

This is lots and lots of climbing for this area. Grades go up to 14%. Descents can be fast, like 50mph.

It's hard, but not impossible, to make it shorter. don't count on this.

Trains run about every hour back.

You shouldn't need a train pass. All the same, I don't know how they'll deal with lots of bikes.

There might be prizes.

Currently, the forecast calls for heavy rain Sunday. Will cancel if that is really the case. Call will be made on Saturday evening.

I'm a orange county native, I think i might have to join you.

Looks like we're going to have to cancel this one. the PATH Trains are out. NJ Transit is out.

going to wake up, check the weather, and if the wind isn't too bad, go for a ride. After all, the wind isn't predicted to be as strong as it was for Grant's Tomb 2010.

This morning, the GWB, both sides were locked. When driving home over the bridge around 5:30 this evening, I saw pedestrians on the bridge. Don't be surprised by locked gates tomorrow morning. Also don't go kayaking tomorrow. I don't care how hard Grant's Tomb 2010 was.

There were Laurel and Hardy and many other duettists, at Kissena we have JP and Marc...
