Come back ride. Was feeling a bit under the weather this week, ok for now so a nice short easier ride is in order. 

Come join me, feel free to punish me for my sins. No mercy for the weak 😂😂

A perfect ride for all levels from D to B.   The route is perfect for a leisurely pace to enjoy the beauty of the great swamp or as a pace-line training ride.  The one larger hill on Millbrook Road is purposely included in the first third of the ride while your legs are fresh. Although there are no places to stop for food on this ride, Loantaka Park at Mile 11 is a great place to stop and regroup and take a bathroom break if needed.  The starting point also has a bathroom available if the municipal building is open.

A beautiful ride through Western Morris and Warren counties with some great, long down hills and surprisingly easy, gradual climbs. Similar to 529 but returns via Rt. #513 and Fairview Ave.
