Ride Description
This route is based on the 2009 edition of the Water Gap 600k.
Starting out at the Water Gap Park and Ride we head north up the Allegheny Front through Canadensis and Promised Land. Instead of stopping at Hawley, we'll bypass the busy traffic by heading over to Rt 402 and then on along the scenic Lackawaxen River. After crossing the historic Roebling Aqueduct, we join up with scenic Rt 97 for the run to Port Jervis -- be sure to stop at one of the many scenic overlooks at Hawks Nest.
At Port Jervis, we begin our return leg back to the hostel overnight controle -- down along the Delaware River. This time, we'll head over to Layton for a stop at the quaint Country Store and then finish up through the NJ side of the Delaware Water Gap Recreation Area.
There are several steep, extended climbs. A triple or 39x27 is highly recommended.
