Don’t let the mileage intimidate you – this is a beautiful ride through sweepers and some curves at a constant comfortable pace. We’ll be riding through the Hammers’ back yard, showing you the corner of NJ that no one that’s not on two wheels knows about. Route 519, which we will be riding, has been featured in many riding rags and is one of the best routes to ride in all of NJ. This will be the longest of our rides, but it’s worth every mile. We’ll be riding to New Hope, PA – right on the Delaware and features a rich history dating back to the American Revolution. Located along the route of the Old York Road (the former main highway between Philadelphia and NYC) it features an old canal and railroad. A definite town worth spending some time in and enjoying.

Rest Stop will be at a QuickCheck gas station/mini mart about half way.

Lunch will be a choice of the many offerings in town. There will be time to walk around and enjoy the ambiance, check out the shops, and catch a little history.

There will be a $5 per bike parking fee for New Hope. All parking in New Hope is paid parking, due to its popularity. We will be parking together in a nice paved lot of the Bucks County Playhouse, two bikes to a space please. We will have a two hour window for parking.

Return Trip will be an enjoyable ride along the Delaware, following it back north on the Pennsylvania side all the way back to the hotel. A faster ride back is available on the highway, but not worth it. Believe us when we tell you, you’ll be more fatigued taking a NJ highway than the back roads.

Rest Stop will be at an Exxon gas station/mini mart about half way back
