any good bike clubs in Fort Lee, NJ?
I live in Fort Lee and recently got a road bike. My ultimate goal is to compete in the duathlons. I'm a major bike rookie, so I'm hoping to find a bike club so I can learn how to ride properly. Does anyone know of good groups that go on rides during the weekends (and friendly to rookies?).

Bicycle Touring Club of North Jersey/My BTCNJ: About BTCNJ Jersey Adrenaline - Bicycle Clubs in Bergen County
Here's two to contact. It is way too easy to find them these days. I just googled on "Bergen County NJ Bike Clubs" and these came up. You missed a 25 mile ride on June 2 that went through the town where I grew up - Dumont.

BTCNJ is a good club and does do a lot of rides around Fort Lee. It's by far the biggest club in the area, with about 1,700 members. I've been a member since 2008 and enjoy riding with them.

I'll have to look into that too, I just moved from manhattan to hoboken. Not many good roads in the area to ride on unless I go 7 miles north on river road.
