Welcome to my tour page! Here you will find the tours that I lead for either the Outdoor Club of South Jersey or the South Jersey Wheelmen. These clubs offer a feature no other can provide...tours led by RePete!
Peach Blossom
Is a favorite as we try to catch the beauty of Spring. We will tour past Peach Orchards viewing the lovely pink and white blossoms. This tour has 2 starting locations and times. The full tour is 55 miles. A shorter version is 40 miles. The first group will begin at 9:00 near Bike Line in the Cross Keys Common Shopping Center in Turnersville, New Jersey. We then journery to meet the second group at 10:15 at Richwood Academy.
An extra treat featured in this tour is lunch at a 50's era eatery.
Our group will separate at Richwood Academy before returning to the Bike Line. We have been invited by Jack and Ted, the owners of the Bike Line in Turnesville, to have Marc their master machanic inspect our bikes and suggest any repairs and adjustments. They have also indicated special "Peach Blossom" pricing for our group...all this and hills too!

Piney Hallow
This is the most recent addition to these selections. We explore the flat back roads with such quaint names as Blue Bell, Dutch Mill and the infamous Piney Hallow...the route of the Headless Cyclist!
This easy 40 mile tour is excellent for those new to group rides as the short distance will allow for frequent stops. The more experienced rider will find some challenges with the announced breakaways.
