I live in Bridgewater and am trying to get some miles in for a long distance ride in September. I'm not a particularly strong rider, but have done centuries, NYC-Montauk, Boston-NY before (8 years ago). I'm looking for a regular or semi regular group ride that's open to newbies nearby, preferably starting early sat or sunday mornings. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

We joined Princeton FreeWheelers this year though I haven't done a group ride yet. I've scheduled one in though for June 15. You might also want to check into http://www.cjbc.org/, Central Jersey Bike Club.
Though based quite a ways from you, check out the Jersey Shore Touring Society (http://www.jsts.us/) if you are planning to ride in Monmouth/Ocean counties. I'm a member and ride with them, and they've regularly scheduled rides from A+ to D categories.
I've never ridden with the CJBC, but I think they're one of the biggest bike club's in the state.
