A New Tradition

https://backroadsusa.com/backroads-events

Join the Backroads Crew on Sunday July 31 for

a fun-filled and interesting Mystery Ride.

The ride is free, all we ask is that you bring some non-perishable products (see above), and have a great day exploring the 120-miles of the backroads of New Jersey!

The ride starts in Newton, New Jersey and will end at the Red Wolf Inn on Route 519 in Belvidere.

If you can't make the ride, please stop by the Red Wolf in the afternoon and drop off a donation.

The folks at Benny's Bodega are the real deal and help so many, many needy families - let's do our best to help them

There will even be silly Backroads swag to be had...

The Coolest, Ugliest, and

Straight-Up Weirdest Baseball Uniforms of All Time

Tracing the style evolution of America's pastime.
From pinstripes to coach jackets to thermals, the baseball field has had a lasting influence on men's style. And since the early 1900s, the uniforms have innovated, adapted, and moved with times. Of course, that's not always a good thing. Here's a (completely unscientific) look back at baseball style—from the very good to the very questionable.

The Backroads Summer Sojourn

This summer we won't be squeezing anymore.

Nope - we'll being sojourning!

Following the basic formula of our Spring and Fall Rallies - the Summer Sojourn will cover lots of miles and offer plenty to see and experience.

We will be starting and finish this long weekend adventure in the familiar haunt of West Dover, Vermont, arriving Friday and returning on Monday.

In between we'll be up in the Mount Washington region and roaming around the White Mountains of New Hampshire and Maine.

As always we'll offer a few rides through the weekend and

Brian's day trip on Sunday will follow along a Rockin' in the Free World theme... without the Earthly political BS!

In fact, you might just get hold of something a bit

off-worldly. Trust us - what could go wrong?

Book today as rooms will go faster than a meteorite!

Song of the Week

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfjNpgZ4C5Q

Jump into the Fire

Harry Nilsson

This song has long been a favorite...

Written by Nilsson, the song is in the hard rock style and marked a departure from his previous work. The recording was produced by Richard Perry and includes a segment where the bass player, Herbie Flowers, audibly detunes his instrument. Flowers is also the bassist on Lou Reed's Walk on the Wild Side - a song that is ruled by the bass line.

A true great!

"Jump into the Fire" gained further recognition following its inclusion as the soundtrack to a pivotal scene in Martin Scorsese's 1990 gangster thriller Goodfellas.
