Over 316 registered on this Inaugural Whirlwind Wednesday Ride.

I was told the A group was on fire 🔥 hitting 4.5 to 5.5 to catch the earlier groups...😂

This evening was a chase event, so the B and A groups had to put in some work to catch D and C groups.

Join us next week on Whirlwind Wednesday - you never know what to expect on the ride! 🤭🚴🏾‍♀️🔥

Miles Challenge 2nd time around -

The Major Taylor Miles Challenge will begin on Monday, June 15th.

Bill Gaston will post the instructional video on the Strava challenge page.
Take a listen because we have new categories. NO TOP CLUB this time, so there is no need for MTCCNJ to defend our title. There are other categories that may interest you for this 2nd time around. If you participated in April we hope you will do so again for us or them it doesn’t matter...just get your ride on! 🚴🏾‍♀️

Rules and Recognition;

Pick a club and stick with that club until the end or drop out!
- Top 3 Men and Women
- Top average miles/club
- Longest ride in a day
- Top elevation man and woman

No private Strava pages please. All participants must see your ride activity especially the admins. If the admins can’t see your ride the ride miles will not count.

Remember outdoor and indoor miles will count.
