Another nominee:

Mooch Ride
Live off the land on this ride. Don't bring a pen, a sign-up
sheet, a tube, patch kit or a pump. We'll head up the North
Branch trail on a nice Sunday and borrow gear from passerby if
there are any breakdowns. Rest stop at Panera where we'll eat
the free samples of bagels and cream cheese, or we'll get
taste spoons of ice cream at Baskin-Robbins.

Poser Ride:

Only for those with megabuck bikes. We'll put them on our SUV's and

nearby trendy coffee house or deli from each lot. We'll only ride on
perfect roads so put on your special event wheels for maximum admiration
from the masses. Please make sure your jersey and shorts match. New

Ride for Prostate Cancer. This ride benefits prostate
cancer survivors, and is open to male riders of upright
bicycles ("wedgies") with old-style, non-anatomical
saddles ("ass-hatchets").

Actual ride just nobody seems to like the concept

The Shortest Day or Precious, it's my Birthday:

Ride from Jamesburg to Bordentown to Sandyhook and back. Enjoy cool
Jersey shore breezes and a leasurely ride along the Delaware as we
ride through the narrowest part of the state. Occasional stops. Gale
force winds or snow accumulation cancels and yes we'll still ride if
it's below freezing.

A/3/130 mile (A = 17 - 18 overall avg, 4 = flat, no hills)

BTW, my club does the Longest Day ride a double century and it is a
December ride.

My friend is working on this:

Hills of the Flatlands: Ride along the Jersey shore as we venture to
every hill we can find. 4000ft total climb and back to sea level.

B/3/70 (B = 16 -17, 3 = some hills)

My current favorite and one I'm working on for this summer:

Dyslexics of the world untie (or it's never a 3 hour tour!):

Come join your fearless leader as we try out new routes which will
include Ft Dix Artillery range (mechanics troubles and we'll abandon
you), the spitting Lama (and you thought dogs were bad!), the Pine
Barrens (there is no one for miles!). And I still haven't learned my
left from my right.

A+,4,130 +/- (A+ = 18+ overall avg, no hills, +/- means we could get
lost and get more miles).

There's one like that that David Robinson leads every year -- I think he
calls it the the Taste of Hell -- as many brick streets in Seattle as he can
find. He says he freaked out the City the first time he asked where they all
were. They thought he was going to complain! You can read a description
