Jul. 13 | Join us for a 30 mile ride in Hunterdon County from Bull's Island
State Park. Except for 2 or 3 climbs, this ride is surprisingly
flat to rolling. Ride up and away from the river on beautiful Lower
Creek Road. Spin through fields and forests. Return to the park
via Federal Twist Road.
We will have an optional (somewhat hilly) 10 mile 'Taste of Bucks County' ride available after a rest stop at Bull's Island. The ride starts on Rt. 32 after crossing the pedestrian bridge and goes up Fleecydale Road. If you choose not to ride this extra loop, you can relax for an hour or take a walk on the rail trail and join the pack for a picnic in the park when we return. |
