ECG Route 8368 (Newark to Princeton)
Primary tabs

Enjoy the last flatter ride in our Technical Series. The East Coast Greenway connects New Jersey to Pennsylvania on almost traffic free roads. We are riding it partially when the path road conditions are good enough for road bikes, and otherwise move along quieter New Jersey roads. We may break off in smaller groups based on speed. Be super comfortable with a cuesheet+speedometer, RidewithGPS or Garmin to navigate this route.
Speed Variable. Road bikes only.
Snack Stops: Starbucks at 22 mile, Coffeehouse at 38 mile, Dunkin Donuts
Where we will meet: Please note new location: entrance to PATH train, @the ticket machines, right below staircase, in the Oculus, 70 Vesey Street, New York, NY 10007. Check out this map to see the PATH entrance we are meeting at: https://www.panynj.gov/path/pdf/MainLevel_P4.pdf

Group Pacing:
The rides will NOT feature point-drop-sweep. We will cycle as a small coherent group with NO DROPS. We may break into even smaller groups that have different paces (speed). The goal is for you to find your comfort zone (speed) that you can consistently maintain for 50 miles. Breaks & snacks should be taken with your group.
It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED for everyone on the trip to install Geozilla on their phone (and ensure their phone is not in airplane mode)! There are instructions below on how to get Geozilla for your phone. At the end of the trip the leaders will wait for all groups at the train station.
You need to be comfortable using RidewithGPS, Garmin, or reading a cue sheet and tracking it with your speedometer.
We ask you that you use Geozilla so the leaders can track you for the ride. Make sure you download Geozilla on your smartphone BEFORE the ride and have it set up and working.
