And for those of you who dislike climbing all of Lake Road in Basking Ridge, this ride calls for a turn on Culberson. Because of the distance, there is no scheduled official stop, but we will stop for hydration and snacks as needed. Due to the ongoing construction on Liberty Corner Road, we will have one detour in the end that most of you already know about. At the bottom of Somerville Road, stay straight onto Cantebury Way.
