Bagel store at the end of the ride | This tour is essentially the reverse of our popular #848, with a loop through Cedar Lake & Cooks Pond early on. It tackles Old Beach Glen early on and is a less steep challenge. It also reverses the awkward downhill of the pothole filled portion of Kinnelon Ave & makes it a safer route. It also schedules a stop at Lakeside Bagels, and thus eliminates the risky crossing of Green Pond Road. |
