The 2008-2009 season final NJSC meeting was held Monday May 11, 2009. 

NJSC Elections were held and the NJSC executive Board incumbents were re-elected with the exception of the Treasurer position, which remains vacant.  Should anyone be interested in volunteering to run for the position of NJSC Treasurer, please contact Chris Budd and you will be put in contact with the proper NJSC members for additional information.

New Event – D&R/Shad Festival Bike Ride

Posted by Larry Ticotin, Webmaster on March 13th, 2009

Mark your calendar for Saturday, April 25, 2009, 10:00 AM.

This bike ride will start at 10:00 AM sharp, at the Kingwood Boat Launch just one mile south of Frenchtown on Route 29. Rain or Shine!

Here are some important highlights of this bike ride:

  • This bike ride will be on flat ground on a defunct rail road that is now a trail (rails to trail).
  • We will be riding on the historic Delaware & Raritan trail.
  • The scenery will be awesome. Along the way we will be able to view the serenity of the Delaware River and canals that are parallel with the trail. We also stop along the way to rest and view interesting sites like the Prallsville Mills.
  • An interesting bit of history – George Washington crossed the Delaware River just south of where we will be.
  • Our destination will be Lambertville for the annual “Shad Festival,” which starts at 12:30pm.  The festival features the area’s finest artists and crafters, great food, and family entertainment.  Please click here to learn more about the Shad Festival.

This bike ride will be on flat ground on a defunct rail road that is now a trail (rails to trail).  Motorized vehicles are not  allowed to use the trail and there are only a few places where cars cross the trail. The ride is a comfortable 24 mile round trip and is suitable for intermediate to advanced riders.  It is also a moderate tune up bike ride if you are planning on participating in the  NY Five Boro Bike Ride. I recommend mountain bikes or hybrid bikes for this ride since the trail is composed of hard packed dirt. There will be plenty of food at the festival. Be sure to bring an ample amount of cash.

Please bring the usual necessities for the bike ride e.g., water, rain gear, sun blocker, bike lock, and a good sense of humor.

Approximate driving time from Morristown to the Kingwood parking lot is 45 minutes.  Directions for Kingwood Boat Launch parking area:

Please GPS or Map Quest this address:

Cycle Corner
52 Bridge Street
Frenchtown, NJ 08825
908-996-7712

After you get to the Cycle Corner bike shop and assuming you are passing it on the left, make an immediate left on Route 29 South. From there travel about one mile and lo0k for the Kingwood Boat Launch parking area on the right side. The trail itself is conveniently next to the parking lot.

Please contact Larry Ticotin if you have any questions.

Here are few preview photos of the area. Please click on each photo to enlarge:

NJSC Monthly Report

meeting date: November 10, 2008
next meeting: December 10, 2008

Rep: Chris Budd – skijcb@hotmail.com
Guidebooks have been published and will be available at the NJSC Jamboree, November 21, 2008 7pm at The Stadium Club, Giants Stadium. I hope everyone plans to make an appearance at the Jamboree.
 

When patronizing retailers / resorts / restuarants in ski country or anywhere else, remember to show your Club membership card with the NJSC member sticker to inquire about discounts and deals.  Also check the new NJSC web site for additional point of sale discounts under the “Membership Direct” heading.
 

Points of interest this month:
 

NJSC membership stickers for the 2008-2009 season will be placed on the back of your Craigmeur membership card when you renew your dues. Show this sticker to retailers / resorts / restuarants in ski country or anywhere else you patronize to let them know you are a member of NJSC and would like to enjoy any discounts they offer to NJSC members.
