Adds the popular South St. loop.. This tour goes near the Town of Hope, but doesn't get there, thus it is named "Out of Hope". Don't be intimidated by C+ terrain rating, at 40 ft/mile it is right on border between C and C+ terrain with no big climbs.

The weather right now looks to be quite mild, but it might be damp from rain overnight. I've set a later start time to give the roads a chance to dry out, but stay tuned in case the start time changes. We'll take a break at Boro Bean before the climb out of Hopewell and regroup periodically to keep the group together. Strong C+ riders are welcome. | "A scenic ride to the Sourlands with gradual climbs on the way to Hopewell. Look for Candlelight Farm Alpacas on Manner Road where you will see the herd out in the field. Rest stop at Boro Bean. On the return trip, a long uphill will be followed by a welcome downhill.
