This ride, last done in May 2021, goes through historic Cranbury, NJ,  one of the oldest NJ colonial towns dating to 1697, the ride circles around to the east on small roads. We can get some long stretches of easy miles in. The steepest climb is a relatively flat, 1.8% grade.  We go through some small towns, the biggest being Jamesburg with a population of about 6,000. There, we can choose from a few places  to eat. Or save our appetite for when we pass through Cranbury. Choose from perhaps, Teddy's (a favorite) or Cranbury Pizza,  Leave room for dessert at Gil and Bert's ice cream.

You can take a car or train to get to the start of this ride. All day paid parking is available, for a few dollars at the train station.
