Default Riding In NJ

Hey Everyone,
I've been on spring break this week and the weather has been awesome, I finally remember what its like to go for a ride and come home being able to feel my hands and face haha. Anyway Ive been on the bike all week and figured I would share some pics, a lot of people say there is "nowhere" to ride in this state but they couldn't be more wrong.



















It is really awesome being able to ride for under an hr in one direction and be surrounded by farms,then head another and be riding down ocean ave with the ocean on one side and the river on the other ...

Please share any pics you have of riding in NJ or any of your local favorite places to ride

I'm so jealous!!! My wife is away on a 2 week business trip, so I am on daddy-duty. Drop the kids off at school and/or daycare, go to work, etc. Makes me crazy to not be riding in this fantastic weather.

Riding to New Hope, Pa is always a nice ride for me. It's mostly back roads.
Rt 27, rt 518, into Hopewell, then head west towards New Hope (don't remember the route #)

Head north into the Bedminster/Peapack area and then just wander on the back roads.

Also head north on Rt 287 then north on 202/206 towards Netcong, then get off the main road in any direction. Rt 94 is a nice ride.

Head east to the Hudson River and then go north on either side up thru Beacon, Newburg, Garrison, etc.

Rt 97 westbound out of Port Jervis, NY:




Tuckerton, NJ:

Sandy Hook, from the Highlands:


View from Bowmans Tower, Delaware River looking north on the PA side.
This is below New Hope.


Looking north from Highlands Twin Lights (lighthouse). Sandy Hook and way off on the horizon NYC.


New bridge onto Sandy Hook:


Somewhere on rt 94, coming out NY into NJ.
