Twin Lakes Road/Cedar Rapids Inn-  Ever since the Hawks Nest Diner burned itself into the Delaware River, we've found that The Cedar Rapids Inn further North on Rt. 97 works just fine.  Getting there however is the best part.  Once we bring ourselves over the Milford Bridge by way of some nice country roads, we'll be riding on Rt. 6 to Twin Lakes Road.  The Roebling Bridge will get us back into NY State from Pa. and then there's a short run on Rt. 97 to Cedar Rapids.  The ride back will be a bit quicker, but just as picture perfect as the way there.

Join us for this fall foliage charity run to help create an Essex County HOG educational fund ~ Donation $10 which includes a commemorative pin and certificate. Additional pins $10. We head out on Route 78 and take that right out to Bucks County, PA - stopping for a butt rub at the truck stop at Exit 7.  From there we’ll be exploring the countryside, admiring the colors and passing through 7 or 8 covered bridges along the way.  As usual, we’ll be finding someplace to have lunch too. It’s a little cooler this time of year, so pay close attention to the weather and dress appropriately. Also, this is a longer than usual day – be prepared for that aspect of the ride as well. This has always been one of our most popular runs and I look forward to seeing everyone there.

This is a new club ride. Join us for a fall foliage ride to The Landslide Saloon in Asbury, NJ. No that’s not Asbury Park but Asbury in Hunterdon County. We’ll head West through Mt. Lakes, Ironia and Bartley and then Southwest through Stephensburg and on to Asbury and The Landslide. Coming back we’ll rumble through Dilts Corner, Middle Valley. Milltown, Mendham and back into the Essex County Area. After all this rain we’ve been having, I’m ordering up some perfect weather for the ride.
