FRI NOVEMBER 24, 2023 - FRIDAY FROLIC W/LINDA. POST-HOLIDAY SPECIAL BUCKINGHAM TO FRENCHTOWN. 5-STAR ROUTE BY CHARLIE B. NO SHOPPING MALLS! CO-LEADERS WELCOME
1
Level B-: 14mph, 45 miles. Meet at Holicong Park, Buckingham. The ride leaves at 9:30 am. Special, scenic route for Black Friday. CO-LEADERS WELCOME, in order to offer alternative speed groups for a wider range of riders. This 5-star route by Charlie B. is an adpatation of a Bob S. route, through peaceful and quiet countryside in Bucks and Hunterdon Counties. Today, we are deliberately avoiding crowded shopping areas. From the starting point at Holicong Park in Buckingham, we cross the river to Hunterdon County, NJ at Stockton. We return to PA via the bike/ped bridge at Bulls Island to Lumberville. Lunch stop at Frenchtown at Mile 28. We have a choice of convenience stores, as well as cafes. Across the street from one of the convenience stores is the Frenchtown Town Park, where we can sit to eat. After lunch, we have ~9 flat miles on River Rd/NJ-29, heading toward the bridge at Bulls Island. Total climbing is 2330 ft, averaging 51 ft/mile - not too extreme. Most of the climbing is after Stockton, but it levels off as we head toward Frenchtown. On the return, we can stop if needed for a quick bathroom or snack break at Bulls Island, or Lumberville Genteral Store. GENERIC DESCRIPTION: Enjoy scenic adventures by bike on most Fridays, throughout the year. Explore pretty, peaceful roads in suburban counties -- Montgomery, Bucks, Chester, etc. Starting points will vary, so that we can cycle through different regions. Please check daily calendar for details of each Friday's route -- terrain, mileage, rest stops, etc. Cue sheets and on-line route map provided for each ride.
