We are riding into New Jersey for quiet suburban roads with some history at New Bridge Landing.  Washington made the cottage at this site his headquarters for 10 days in 1780. New Bridge served as a battleground, fort, encampment ground, military headquarters, and intelligence-gathering post in every year of the American Revolutionary War.

We will ride through Creskill, Demarest (restroom/snack break at Mile 15.5) and New Milford before arriving at New Bridge Landing.  Then we will proceed to River Edge for lunch at the River Edge Diner (Mile 25.5).

This ride is listed as Upper Moderate, meaning you must be able to maintain a 14mph pace on flat terrain.  If you can’t ride at that speed, please do not register for this ride.

To work off our lunch calories, we will be riding up Walnut, a significant climb, to get back to the GW Bridge.
