Central New Jersey is in the middle of the most densely populated state in the U.S. But despite the proliferation of expressways, office parks, and shopping centers, there are vast parts of the region that remain undeveloped farmlands, woods, or open land -- perfect for two-wheeled touring. Despite the growth, all 21 rides from the original edition of this Ride Guide are back, each thoroughly updated to reflect changing traffic patterns and landmarks. Also included are five new routes -- four of which are especially designed for owners of hybrids or mountain bikes. These unusual routes are not all-trail mountain biking routes, but combinations of paved, gravel, and dirt roads. Rides like these can't be found in any other guidebook. From hilly Hunterdon County, along the sleepy Delaware River, down through the Millstone Valley, out from tony Princeton in four directions, and over to the Jersey Shore, Ride Guide/Central Jersey 2nd edition has everything you need ! to keep you up to speed on cycling in the heart of the Garden State.
