North NJ:
WhiteRice - Red 2010 250r - Novice

Central NJ:
itsa250bro - Blue 2008 250 - Riding for 2 years (I'm gonna go with Novice)

South NJ:

I'm mostly a weekend warrior - Sunday mornings are best for me - since there is much less traffic - which means more riding/less worrying.

Now, where to go... This is a loop I've done a few time. It is mostly 2 lane country roads - including a covered bridge, some nice views of the Deleware River and a little highway action on RT 202 but, there is hardly any traffic down that way. http://g.co/maps/g8gqb

I'm open to other suggestions though - I realize this is just close to ME.

Just got my license two weeks ago, due to horrible weather haven't ridden as much as I hoped

Hopefully this weekend will be nice..a
group ride would be great once I get more miles under my belt..

BTW I saw about 25 motorcycles this weekend heading to the Holland tunnel towards ny while I was in my car..I was so jealous lol

Still in the process of moving from Queens to Passiac County, my 250 is sitting in Queens covered up.

Looking forward to some nice weather this weekend and ride her hard (as hard as a noob can) and make her purr all the way to Clifton.

I'll have to give this route a shot, i normally venture north of 78, but this isn't too far out of my way

itsa250bro · September 9th, 2011, 05:37 AM

I guess I’m out for this weekend – the weather is not cooperating, maybe next weekend. In the meantime, does anyone else have ride suggestions?

WhiteRice · September 11th, 2011, 03:10 PM

Lots of JC njettes! I work out of Exchange place, but I don't usually ride in.

Weather this upcoming weekend looks good. I was planning to go for a ride Friday and Sunday. No particular destination or area. I was thinking about checking out highpoint state park.

Rollin.. · September 12th, 2011, 08:06 AM

I ride with ninjettes from new york but I actually live in Jersey City.. - 2010 red250...surprised to see a lot of JC ninjettes

I'm in - I have no routes to give though

ironglory · September 13th, 2011, 07:35 AM

Got anything aside from this day, say 2 weekends from this? I have a defensive driving class to attend on the same day.

Enjoy the ride. Be safe & ATGATT.

xtrapsi · September 13th, 2011, 11:08 AM

I'm stationed in South Jersey now...really south!
I'm in Cape May now but the bike is still in Baltimore.
I'm looking for a reason to ride it over here. Let me know if there are any locals or decent roads to ride.

I'm only up to managing one ride a week right now. Everyone is welcome to make their own events and I will do my best to add them to the "Upcoming Rides" section.

Boosted139 · September 13th, 2011, 05:58 PM

Might join in on the weekend ride depending on the details. I'm about an hour from JC, but not a big deal really. I go that way pretty much everyday for school (hoboken).

sikuss · September 13th, 2011, 06:51 PM

I'm in for a ride this Sunday. As far as destinations, I have been to a road called the "Hawks Nest" that is pretty scenic and frequented by motorcyclists and car enthusiasts. It's near Port Jarvis, NY -- a huge haul from JC -- but maybe something to keep in mind for a ride that's not on a Sunday.

Here's a few links to some info on it...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawk's_Nest,_New_York
http://sundaymorningrides.com/road/3978463/

PS -- I have a 2009 Black 250r!

Boosted139 · September 13th, 2011, 07:01 PM

bear mountain is a lot closer, but not AS awesome. Still a cool place though. Only been there once on the bike though

itsa250bro · September 13th, 2011, 07:07 PM

I'm up for Sunday too - Port Jervis / High Point St Prk are close together and sounds fun, but it'll be a haul from JC. Maybe meet up near rt80/rt15 around 9:30 am then ride up and back together? My 2 cents open to other ideas

WhiteRice · September 13th, 2011, 08:12 PM

What do you guys think?

114 Miles - 2Hr 44min

Start: New York Bagel Cafe
End: Famous Ray's Pizza

It's basically a big loop. It's pretty long, probably take a stop up north.

I have been to hawks nest before with another rider eddiekay...great ride and awesome views....lots of bikers too...took us maybe 4 hours or less roundtrip..we had to stop for gas..I took some pictures of the roebling delaware's aqueduct bridge which was the farthest we were able to get to and then rode back home...

I have not been to bear mountain...

Lockshi3 · September 14th, 2011, 04:38 PM

Good possible choice by sikuss.... is there anything else that might be cool, but not as long for our first ride? what's the total mileage loop for bear mountain? curious to check that one out too just because i have not been to that one either like some others...

sikuss · September 14th, 2011, 05:32 PM

I wouldn't mind the loop posted above, really just looking to get out on the bike! The weather is supposed to be great Sunday.

WhiteRice · September 14th, 2011, 05:38 PM

I'm going to go out Friday morning. I was gonna do it alone to get a feel, but anyone is welcome to join.

Yeah, I totally agree - just looking forward to a great group ride!

The loop posted by WhiteRice looks good to me too but, it's a little out of my way to meet up in JC. If you're going up RT23 - maybe I can meet up with you guys at RT23/RT80 intersection - since its right on the way. I found a Lukoil gas station (not my favorite place) at 100 State Rt 23, Riverdale, NJ 07457 meet there perhaps 9:30 or so.

I would really like to try the ride to Hawk's Nest too though... maybe split into smaller groups at Port Jervis? No need to decide now, sounds like a game time decision.

See that blue dot one the map? That's you

We'll see you at 9:30.

I like the idea of possibly doing Hawk's nest, let's play it by ear.

sikuss · September 15th, 2011, 07:14 PM

Let us know how the dry run goes! I assume a few of us will leave from Jersey City and we can all pick somewhere to meet at the start of this loop?

Crriiissss · September 16th, 2011, 11:34 AM

I would have to skip this group ride since I'm not comfortable riding that much yet (had license for ~ a month) and from what you guys are planning, it's going to be a longer ride. After I get some more practice, I would surely join you guys on the next group ride. Hope you all have fun, take pictures and be safe! Enjoy!

lux · September 16th, 2011, 12:15 PM

Anyone from the NYC area going?

I gotta map out my actual route, but I left at 9am and I got back at 5pm. I stopped a few times, but I must've driven over 300 miles today. I'll try and map it out.

Edit: Mapped!

I went up Rt 23, into Port Jervis, up 97 to hawk's nest, kept going north, got lost, almost ran out of gas, went to Hancock, rode 17m to 17a to 17 south, then road rt 4 back.

It was chilly, wear layers under your gear. This includes socks!

Rt 23 If under construction in some places. Nothing hazardous though. Some sections are closed into one way road that you have to wait at. There was a nice small section of small sweepers. Some nice scenic farmland.

It will take you through highpoint state park which has good sweepers.

Port Jervis has plenty of places to stop and eat. I stopped at Arlene and Tom's for a late breakfast. It was tasty and they were nice.

I went to 97 from there which will take you to hawk's nest. This is just a scenic overlook, I didn't realize it at the time or I would've stopped to get a photo. 97 at Hawk's nest is also under construction and closed to one lane for 1/4 mile. Unfortunately this also happens to be the twistiest 1/4mile!

That's ok, because there are nice sweepers along the Delaware river after that and it's really beautiful.

I went up 97 for awhile, like a really long while and got lost. I kept waiting for a gas station but there are none. Eventually I took a left and went on an adventure. I found some nice twisties but the roads where cambered and kinda gravely so I was conservative taking them.

I'll fill in the rest later

itsa250bro · September 16th, 2011, 04:30 PM

Sounds like an awesome ride - and great pics too !! Are you sure you're going to be up for another on Sunday?!? jk I'll bet you're even more anxious since its going to be a little warmer.

I went for about a 2 hour driver myself today (sorry I don't have great pics) - down RT 78 towards Phillipsburgh and back. Very windy and lot of trucks but, the little Ninja inspires confidence. (cruised at 80-90 mph indicated!)

Does anyone know of an easy way to share cell numbers? If not I'll just PM everyone on the list. Maybe we can update the list tomorrow for those who are definitely IN.

Thanks for the offer! As of now I'm in. When you have time, please let me know when and where to meet. I'm going to a wedding today and not sure how late I'll be out. I apologize in advance if I cancel, and will post as soon as I can.

I know it's silly to ask now, but what do you people think are the chances you'll be riding more after lunch?

WhiteRice · September 17th, 2011, 07:21 AM

Would anyone mind moving the main meeting point to the lukoil itsa250bro will be at? It's actually more convenient for me to get there

.

Edit: JC group will meet in JC and meet its250bro and I at the lukoil. How's that? see above I updated the map.

So it's 9:30 at the Lukoil station posted above? I'll PM you my phone number so we can coordinate if we need to tomorrow.

I'm about an hour from JC, but not a big deal really. I go that way pretty much everyday for school (hoboken).

As far as destinations, I have been to a road called the "Hawks Nest" that is pretty scenic and frequented by motorcyclists and car enthusiasts. It's near Port Jarvis, NY -- a huge haul from JC -- but maybe something to keep in mind for a ride that's not on a Sunday. Here's a few links to some info on it... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawk's_Nest,_New_York http://sundaymorningrides.com/road/3978463/ PS -- I have a 2009 Black 250r!

Maybe meet up near rt80/rt15 around 9:30 am then ride up and back together? My 2 cents open to other ideas

It's pretty long, probably take a stop up north. Last futzed with by WhiteRice; September 16th, 2011 at 03:06 PM.

After I get some more practice, I would surely join you guys on the next group ride. Hope you all have fun, take pictures and be safe! Enjoy!

Are you sure you're going to be up for another on Sunday?!? jk I'll bet you're even more anxious since its going to be a little warmer. I went for about a 2 hour driver myself today (sorry I don't have great pics) - down RT 78 towards Phillipsburgh and back. Very windy and lot of trucks but, the little Ninja inspires confidence. (cruised at 80-90 mph indicated!) Does anyone know of an easy way to share cell numbers? If not I'll just PM everyone on the list. Maybe we can update the list tomorrow for those who are definitely IN.

It's actually more convenient for me to get there . Edit: JC group will meet in JC and meet its250bro and I at the lukoil. How's that? see above I updated the map.
