Maximum 20 people.
Weekends are made for cycling. So are the roads in the area around the Delaware
Water Gap. So much so that we couldn't fit them all into a single two day event - so
we stretched the weekend, just for you. Come ride with us for two, three of four
days. Whatever works for you!
Take two days off from work and come early on Thursday. We'd love to have you
join us as we head out on our cue sheet ride.
If Thursday morning is pushing it, then come Thursday evening. You'll find us in
the bar, relaxed, happy and looking forward to our Friday morning ride.
If weekdays are just not possible, you'll still find us ready to play. Catch up with us
Friday evening. There are still miles and miles of glorious road to cover on
Saturday and Sunday, and a great night of hot Jazz, to boot!
Our home for this festive weekend is the renowned Deer Head Inn. This gorgeous
Victorian hotel, with its Mansard roof and ancient wisteria vines was built between
1853 and 1865, during the height of the Civil War. Once called the Central House,
the hotel was renamed the Deer Head Inn in the 30's. The 1950's brought Jazz to
these hills and the already hip Deer Head has been a Mecca for first rate Jazz
artists ever since.
Day One - Thursday
Welcome to the Deer Head Inn! Surrounded by the Delaware Water Gap National
Recreation Area and adjacent to the Appalachian Trail, the Deer Head has been
home to great food, great music and a cozy ambiance for more than a century. Get
here early and join us on our cue sheet ride through Cherry Valley, with a stop at
the Sorrenti Winery. Did you know it's haunted? Really! You're on your own for
dinner, but look for us in the bar once the sun goes down.
Rolling to hilly terrain
Optional Cue Sheet Ride - Approximately 30 miles
Day Two - Friday
Week days are the best for quiet roads. This area has long been known as a prime
tourist destination and today you'll find out why. We're heading upstream, following
gorgeous winding roads past waterfalls and vistas that will steal your breath and
leave your heart pounding...or maybe that was just the climb? Doesn't matter.
Multiple route distances will make this day comfortable for everyone.
Rolling to hilly terrain with some climbs
Breakfast, Dinner
Multiple routes from approximately 25 to 50 miles
Day Three - Saturday
What goes up, must go down. Downstream, that is. Our two route options today
both cruise down the PA side of the Delaware, crossing the river at Belvidere, NJ.
From there you can either come back along the ridge line of the Jersey side, or
continue down stream to a rest stop in Phillipsburg, NJ...then come back up along
the ridge line of the Jersey side. We didn't want you to miss any of the views! And
just for you hill-nuts out there, we've included an optional opportunity to climb one
of Bicycling Magazine's 100 toughest hills in America - Fiddler's Elbow.
Rolling to hilly terrain with some climbs; optional steep climbing
Breakfast, Dinner
Two routes - 35 miles and 60 miles
Day Four - Sunday
Everyone we introduce to Old Mine Road declares it cycling perfection; one of the
best roads they've ever ridden. Hopefully you'll feel the same way. If you're short
for time, head up Old Mine Road to the historical village of Millbrook, then turn
around for the 12 mile flight back downstream. Or if you want a few more miles
before you head home, you can enjoy the longer climb up to Blairstown and try to
break the sound barrier descending into Millbrook before that sweet final sail back
to the Inn. Then for those of you who just can't climb enough, we can offer you
another one of Bicycling Magazine's 100 toughest climbs in America - the back
side of the road to Blairstown (optional, of course). Race you to the top!!
Gently rolling or hilly terrain with one long climb; optional steep climbing
Breakfast
Two routes - 25 miles and 40 miles
