| 12/11 | Thu | 11:00am | C+/B/40/2133 | Mine Brook Park | John Parsekian | 1112 - Highland Hula Hoop **CANCELED** | 53 | Thursday will be one of the better weather days this week. Hopefully there will be some sun. We will be happiest on the climbs. Break in Sergentsville if we need to warm up. | TEMPORARY DETOUR - There is a bridge out on Ferry Road before Locktown-Flemington road with an easy detour - R on Biser Road to Croton, L on Croton then rejoin the route after Stones Signpost Rd. A delightful ride from Mine Brook Park that takes you by Rutgers Snyder Research Farm, before descending into Frenchtown. What goes down must come up, so use your “happy” gears for 1.8 mile climb via Fairview Rd along the edge of Horseshoe Bend Park. Take a break at the Highland Gourmet Market – it doesn’t get more serene than this. At the corner of Upper Creek & Sanford Roads, look for a strange red structure before heading for the covered bridge. Tour by Pat Kipp and Tony Marchand (2017). | Food stops:

We will stop for coffee at the halfway point and feel free to join us at the local brewery (walking distance from the starting point) for some pizza and beer. | Bike this scenic rail trail round trip for 25 miles.
