Flat but this will be a fast paced gig. I do this for endurance training (better than on the roads with all the hills). Steady pace throughout. Figure on 20-25 mile. Quick rest stop before turning back. Gravel bikes or MTBs only (no road bikes). If you run tubeless and get a flat, you are on your own. Rain the night before or that day cancels (I will cancel before 2PM that day). I buy pizza (on Main Street High Bridge) for anyone who beats my average speed. Ride safe! dB | Bike this scenic rail trail round trip for 25 miles. Trail parallels the Raritan River in the first part. Return trip goes through the gorgeous Ken Lockwood Gorge.
