I will sweep anyone for the entire ride who can maintain a 14.5 average pace on the flatter first portion (to the break at mile 26). | This tour is based on tour 1079 created by Chaim Schreiber.

This a ride too beautiful to miss. A very short break at Sunset Market at mile 21.3. I will sweep anyone who can maintain a 14.5 mph average pace. | The only climb on this tour is Cherryville Hollow which takes you up to the plateau where you remain until coming downhill on White Bridge Rd.

The ride then takes you north along the ocean through several beach towns including Ocean Grove, Asbury Park, and Deal before turning west at Long Branch and back to Brookdale. A stop at an old fashioned ice cream parlor at Ocean Grove is worth the time.
