08/12Wed8:30amC/C/38/1489Ghost Lake, AllamuchyArlene Whalen961 - A Bit of Hope Scenically in Reverse39

Nice ride.  Please bring enough to drink and a snack because I do not plan on stopping at the Tranquility Store. We will stop at Evergreen Park instead (at approximately mile 26). 

Same scenic ride through the farmlands of Allamuchy as tour #850, but reversed to put the lunch/rest stop at Tranquillity at a better point on the ride. By Steve Diamond (2015)

Food stops: Tranquility Store (mile 23).4: Arlene Whalen (C), Dave Hall (C), Helene Motyka (C), Eileen Griffiths (C)Scheduled

Quick stop for fluids at Oldwick Market if needed.

This is a challenging but very picturesque ride and, while there are quite a few climbs, the long ones are gradual and the steep ones are short. Light traffic and the Oldwick General Store.
