Ride Description
Starting from College, we head north up to Bangor and then over to Minsi Lake for the run into Portland. Crossing the Delaware River, we then head over to Hope, NJ and points beyond. Some challenging climbs await us, as we work our way over the Jenny Jump ridge. We finallly reach the Muscenetcong River which we ride along into Asbury. After a climb up Tunnel Rd, some rolling terrain along Rt 579 takes us down south where we eventually turn west and cross back into PA at New Hope and the final controle stop before the finish. Our return leg is a gentle jaunt along the Delaware River back to Easton.
There are several steep, extended climbs. A triple or 39x27 is highly recommended.
