New England / Bike Route Network of New Jersey & The Jersey 500
« on: April 04, 2022, 02:25:04 pm »I have also prepared a single bike route called The Jersey 500 because it is 516 miles in length, without any repetitions. The route zig-zags across the state. It is broken down into 9 segments, based on the amount of mileage an experienced cyclist can comfortably ride in one day and the availability of motels. Each segment ends at a motel. The route starts in Belvidere, near the Delaware Water Gap; and ends at the Cape May Lighthouse.
I tried to use less-heavily used roads whenever possible. I am confident that out-of-staters will be pleasantly surprised at the low traffic volumes encountered. You will be amazed by a lot of the scenery, in this, the most densely-populated state in the US.
