Freewheel'n - August, 2000

After a slow start, our cycling year should now be at the height of activity. The rain and cool weather that continued through May are now gone! We now can look forward and plan the events for the remainder of this year.

In August, we have the Princeton Event. This annual ride is sponsored by the Princeton Freewheelers. Well over 1,000 riders attend this tour. RePete has ridden on almost all from the first event held in the early 80's. Multiple routes are available from short 15 milers to full 100 mile centuries and include both hilly and flat terrain. Simply a great well organized event that starts in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. This should be on every cyclist's ridding calendar. See you there on the 5th.

Then we have our own Bridgeton Zoo. This unique route that features a stop at the zoo in Bridgeton, New Jersey. This may be the last chance to ride this tour. Unless more volunteers are obtained, this ride could be eliminated. So…turn out, help out and show your interest on the 12th.

Then to finish out the month, RePete has another Quest Tour. We now journey to Fort Mercer in National Park. This historic site is famous for defending Philadelphia from attack during the Revolutionary War. Here we have an excellent route for those seeking something more than ridding on flat roads. Join me on the 26th as we find some hill in South Jersey!

You can find more information about these rides elsewhere in the SJW Newsletter or by going to Quest Tours.

There is some very disturbing news about the club jersey. Available information at the moment indicates that the cost has increased dramatically. Those that have ordered may be asked to pay the additional amount. There is also the likelihood the entire order will be canceled. In either case, this would be regretful. Look for further comments in the soon to be released Quotes update and in next month's Freewheel'n.

Safe Cycling,
