Polar Bear Grand Tour - Cape May VFW - Sunday, April 11th

Sunday, April 11th is the last Polar Bear Grand Tour of the season.  We'll be heading back to the first stop of the season, the VFW in Cape May, NJ.  We'll be meeting at McDonalds for a prompt 9:15 am departure.

Bicycle Weekend

Was the weekend weather nice?  I'll say; Friday, Saturday and Sunday all in the seventies, beautiful blue skies and bright sunshine.  I took advantage of the weather and rode the bicycle all three days; 37 miles on Friday, 43 miles on Saturday and 42 miles on Sunday.  Saturday and Sunday were hard, fast rides and for so early in the spring my legs held up great.  On Saturday there was a pace line coming back to Cranbury; what started as 23 riders became 10 riders as people fell off the back.  I was one of only 5 that made it back first, not bad for an old man.  I'm happy that winter is gone and I can look forward to lots of bicycling.

Polar Bear Grand Tour - Brian's HD - Sunday, March 21

No stinking rain and wind kept us from riding to the Chatterbox.  It was a supreme test of rain gear for the first half of the ride up to the Chatterbox; but we actually saw the sun for a bit on the way back.  Next week the Polar Bear Grand Tour visits Brian's Harley Davidson, so there won't be a ride from McDonald's to Brian's.  Planning on a ride from Brian's and will post the departure time late this week.

UPDATE: I'll be leaving on a 100 and some mile ride around noonish.

Polar Bear Grand Tour - The Chatterbox - Sunday, March 14

Sunday we visited Long Valley Pub and Brewery on a magnificent spring day; the sky was clear, the sun was bright and temperatures were in the low 50's.  A great day for a motorcycle ride but we were saddled with a slug waiter for lunch.  The food was good and came quickly once we were able to order; but getting the waiter to take our order and getting him to give us the check took forever.  But it was worth the wait as the roads back were nice and twisty!

Next Sunday we'll head to Augusta NJ and The Chatterbox.  A group will meet at McDonalds on Lincoln Highway in Langhorne for a prompt 9:30 am departure.

Polar Bear Grand Tour - Bahr's Landing - Sunday, February 21st, 2010

This Sunday the Polar Bear Grand Tour visits Bahr's Landing in Highlands NJ.  A group will be meeting at McDonalds on Lincoln Highway in Langhorne PA for a prompt 10:00 AM departure.  Please come with a full gas tank and empty bladder.  Last Sunday the snow must have gotten the better of many of our normal group as only 4 of us made the Valentines Day trip up to Hooter's.  It was a nice sunny day and we traveled some decent roads, which were surprisingly clear of any snow and ice.  Remember to check here for any last minute changes.

Polar Bear Grand Tour - Hooters Wayne NJ - Sunday, February 14th

This week the Polar Bear Grand Tour visits Hooters in Wayne, NJ.  This seems an appropriate destination for Valentine's Day! A group will meet at McDonalds on Lincoln Highway in Langhorne, PA for a prompt 9:30 AM departure.  Check this blog for last minute changes and updates.

A little too much snow...

No where near as much snow here as in Philadelphia and southern NJ, but enough.  I've got my driveway clear but the cloudy skys won't allow enough solar radiation to melt the final coating.  I might be able to slide out tomorow but there is no way I could ride the motorcycle back into the garage!  So I won't be able to make it to our meeting place tomorrow; let's hope next weeks weather is better.  Back to NASCAR qualifications...

Polar Bear Grand Tour - Sunday, February 7th - Landslide Saloon, Pattenburg, NJ

Last week the snow fractured the group as local roads in the Philadelphia area hampered the best efforts of some to make it to McDonalds on time.  Three of us rode up together and then Rob and Mike D. met us at The Exchange.  It was a beautiful afternoon (no rain!) and we took a nice ride through the NJ countryside back to LTC.

This week the Polar Bear Grand Tour visits Landslide Saloon in Pattenburg, NJ.  A group will meet at McDonalds on Lincoln Highway in Langhorne for a prompt 10:15 AM departure.  Full gas tank and empty bladder please.
