Ride Description
Starting out from our favorite Bakery, we head north along the Delaware River through Phillipsburg and Easton. We eventually head away from the river to the mountains upon Mud Run, where we reach the base at Wind Gap. From Wind Gap, we travel along the southern part of Blue Mountain to Danielsville where we cross over to the northern side at Little Gap. After an exhilarating descent from the top of the Blue Mountain Ski resort, we follow valley roads to Water Gap, where we once again meet up with the Delaware River. Heading south along the river, there are spectacular views of the water gap with Mount Minisi on your right and Mount Tammany on your left. We continue south along the Delaware River back to Milford via Portland, Belvidere, Stewartsville, and Bloomsbury. At Bloomsbury, we get one last good look at the Blue Mountains in the distance after the climb up Staats Rd.
There are several steep, extended climbs. A triple or 39x27 is highly recommended.
