I'm leading a gravel ride in Brownsville on Friday, July 4. The Brownsville festivities include food, both pre-and post-ride :-)
The next morning on July 4th, come down to Brownsville Village where the Outreach Committee of the Brownsville Community Church will be serving an abundant community breakfast of pancakes, eggs, bacon & sausage from 8:30 until 10 all the while you enjoy the live music of fiddler Adam Boyce and guitarist Dave Richard. The donations received at the breakfast will support local outreach & missions.
From 10 to 3, outside of Town Hall there will be the aroma of luscious foods cooking on grills. The Moonlighters will have come off the mountain to serve their grilled goodies & new this year, Letti’s Besitos will be serving up luscious Mexican fare. On the lighter side, the West Windsor Fast Squad will be serving their fruit smoothies & the West Windsor Historical Society will be offering ice pops at The Grange.

9:00 start. Come early for the community breakfast which starts at 8:30
Current forecast is sunny, 65F
This is a no-drop ride. Pace will be relaxed. I'll ride sweep, so you won't be last. If there's a big difference in speed the fast folks can split off the front and I'll stay back.
If anyone wants a longer route option, you can go over the hill to Woodstock & back:
