https://maps.app.goo.gl/4pKoeK8j9VrULqhZ8
Let's ride from the Popamora Point Beach (Henry Hudson Trail / Popamora Point, Shore Dr, Atlantic Highlands, NJ 07716) to Freehold, via the Henry Hudson Rail Trail, and back! Total distance will be 52 miles. I will be at the Popamora Beach parking lot at 9:45am. Let's start riding by 10:00 / 10:10.
This is a mostly flat paved trail ride. We will ride 3 total miles on gravel in the very beginning and very end. The Henry Hudson Rail Trail is divided into 3 sections, in which we will ride alongside traffic between each section. I've done this countless times and find it to be very safe.
I plan on riding at a relaxed/social pace, but I'm more than happy to ride at an A/B-pace, if everyone wants a workout! This is a no-drop ride in which No One will be left behind. I plan on making multiple stops along the entire ride for all to catch up and hydrate. I'm open to all suggestions in terms of where we shall eat for lunch.
Please be aware that this ride may go beyond 3PM, depending on our pace! Please be aware of your physical ability to ride 52 miles! Bring plenty of water/snacks for yourself, and Wear A Helmet!!!
