https://ridewithgps.com/routes/53814211
Level B-/C+: 13-14mph, 47 FLAT miles. Meet at Hammonton Walmart parking lot, White Horse Pike (US-30). The ride leaves at 10:00 am. South Jersey received significantly less snow in the most recent snowstorm, compared with Southeastern PA. This scenic route is based on a Tom Madle cue sheet from several years ago. Pretty loop from Hammonton to Historic Smithville, for a lunch/coffee/snack stop at Mile 25, slightly beyond the half-way mark. Pass the scenic Mullica River, and cross the peaceful Nacote Creek. Pass through the cute towns of Port Republic and Egg Harbor City. There is a lake with outdoor seating near the coffee shop at Historic Smithville. If Smithville is crowded, we can go to the nearby mega-Wawa, 2 blocks away. This 47-mi route is the winter, "post-snowstorm" version. These are FLAT, South Jersey miles - total elevation gain 724 ft, averaging 15 ft/mile.
