It’s that time of year again. If you haven’t had your fill of fireworks this year, you should join me for a ride to see the best!
We will be taking a bike ride to the Berkeley Heights Firework. Let’s meet up at the Morristown Green fountain on Tuesday , July 16th at 7:15 with kickstands up at 7:30pm. The planned route will go through some very nice back roads of the Great Swamp (13 miles one way).
On arrival, we will WALK OUR BIKES together as a group and pay the admission together at the main entry gate. $15/person cash at gate (you can order online but be sure you pay for July 16th) I always pay cash at the gate.
We will arrive at approximately 8:30pm, which gives us plenty of time to chow down on some greasy carnival food, visit the beer tent for a pint or two, and even take a ride on the tilt-a-whirl. Fireworks start at 10pm and last for 30-45 minutes.
On the ride back, we will have the Swamp roads all to ourselves. Expect to finish at the Green around 12:00am.
I’m not promoting this, but when we return to the Green, some of the wild wolves have been known to take a dip in the fountain to cool off.
Even though it’s summer, I think this is the coolest ride of the year, so don’t miss it.
Bring lights and let’s ride safely. Renegade cycling is frowned upon!
Bird is the word.
Ride Recap: 8 of us lifetime members braved the the heat and threat of t-storms to experience another fireworks display. The t-storms were a reality but thankfully it was short lived and cooled us off. We munched on expensive carnival food and downed some beers while being entertained by an Elvis impersonator band. The fireworks did not disappoint. The ride back was filled with great conversation, quiet back roads and watching a few take a dip at the fountain. Always a great time at the Berkeley Heights Fireworks Ride. See you next year. Here are a few pics.
