Central New Jersey – Trails, Paths, Parks, Backroads, Horses and Assunpink
Primary tabs

We may still get to schedule this ride on Saturday or Sunday, but as of now, some regulars on this ride have difficulty with some of the weekends with the leadership course and other issues. So we are scheduling this classic but on a Friday. Play hooky, it is worth it.
This is a slightly revised course and a relatively easier 50 mile Central Jersey ride with only 1,100 feet of climbing. Join us for a ride that takes us from suburbia, to Assunpink, to a horse park, to community parks and back to suburbia. On the way we will travel along trails, bike paths, quiet backroads and some busier suburban streets. Lunch is at an Italian place that has been very friendly to us - we could even call this an out-to-lunch-bunch ride, its that good. This is a scenic and fun ride.
We will meet at the Princeton Junction Train station at about 9:30 AM. We expect some riders will be arriving via car pools, but there are New Jersey transit trains that leave Penn Station that stop at Princeton Junction including we anticipate one at 8:13 that arrives at about 9:26 - we will adjust as the train schedule finalizes. The leaders will not be on the train, but will be part of the car pools, but folks have taken the train on Prior rides met us without an issue..
THIS RIDE REQUIRES PRE-REGISTRATION. If interested in the ride, please contact Bill Mastro at daytrips@5bbc.org and let me know if you will be arriving via NJ Transit, or if you need a ride or if you have a car and bike rack and would be willing to take some riders with you. Some of those heading to the start will likely meet at the Dunkin Donuts parking lot on 4th Avenue and 93rd Street in Bay Ridge near the last stop of the R train. We will try to help coordinate carpooling, but that will be based upon availability of seats and room on bike racks
This is a moderate ride, but we will keep a steady pace in order to be back before dark. There are no bail out options.
Please bring money for lunch, plenty of hydration, spare tubes, perhaps a lock, and an inquisitive attitude.
