Can you believe a near totally flat 100-mile ride? Here it is, with the added adventure of a ferry ride to Conners/Highland, New Jersey. Once in New Jersey, the ride covers a fast loop through the northern Pine Barrens. This ride will be very fast with only a brief stop around its midpoint. The route is fast and flat, the only negative being shore traffic. Possible on a fixed gear bike as well as an upper level B ride, but only the exceptional need apply.

Good route for fixed gear ride— only one short steep hill and a couple of rollers. Or good C route to Dam. Uses several sections of bike path (paved).
