01/13Wed 10:30amC+/B/34/2292Pleasant Valley Park, Basking RidgeJohn Parsekian764 - Pleasant Valley-Watchung Ridge67

This ride is a little on the hilly side but has a pleasant stretch in Watchung Reservation and some nice views along the way. There is a detour when we exit the reservation: straight on Valley Road, left on Bonne Burn, right on Johnson. I will make sure everyone is clear on this.

Rest stop at Starbucks at mile 26 if anyone wants to stop.

This tour earns it B terrain rating with its sawtooth terrain profile. It heads out east from Pleasant Valley Park and works it way to the Watchung Reservation. It then goes through the town of Watchung on its way up Washington Rock. Enjoy the view there before heading back to the start.

CAUTION: As you leave the park headed toward Valley Rd, the road has a cobblestone section with a stream passing over it. While this is fine for cars, it is extremely dangerous for bicycles. Follow the bike path at the other end of the parking lot that crosses a small bridge by the pool and avoids the dangerous, wet cobblestone section.
Food stops: Shopping center with a Dunkin' and a Bagels-4-U (mile 26).
