Paulinskill Valley Trail Committee Bike Rides

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 7th - Join the Paulinskill Valley Trail Committee (PVTC) at 11:30AM on Saturday, November 7th at Warbasse Junction, at the border of Sparta & Lafayette, New Jersey. The PVTC, the Officially Recognized Friends Organization of the Kittatinny Valley State Park, will host a moderate bike ride. The length of the ride will be 17 miles, (round trip), unless a majority of the group chooses to ride less or more. The trail is cinder-based which provides easy, level biking. Bring your helmet, plus lunch and a drink.
RSVP by November 6th to the Meetup announcement or to paul_rottmann@hotmail.com or call (973) 887-4332 (land-line, so no texting). If no one RSVPs, then the ride may be cancelled.
This bike group pedals at a very moderate pace. Everyone should be prepared to stay together with the group leader. If you wish to pedal faster or pedal alone, then you should explore this rail trail on your own time. If you choose to join this group event, then you must STAY TOGETHER WITH THE GROUP AND ITS LEADER.
ABOUT US
The Paulinskill Valley Trail Committee (PVTC) is the Officially Recognized Friends Group of the Kittatinny Valley State Park. They are a not-for-profit 501c(3) organization of volunteers dedicated to promoting the public interest, appreciation and conservation of the resources of Kittatinny Valley State Park (KVSP) with emphasis on its rail-trails.
The Paulinskill Valley Trail (27 miles) and the Sussex Branch Trail (20 miles) are part of Kittatinny Valley State Park. Both trails are multi-use. However, no motorized vehicles are allowed. Hiking, bicycle riding, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, snow shoeing jogging and dog sledding are allowed. All dogs must be on a leash. The tracks have been removed from these rail trails, leaving a pleasant cinder bed path. Except at a few road crossings, the trails are level and offer easy walking, cycling, and horseback riding. Anyone interested in nature or railroad history will enjoy using these two rail trails.
