North Meets South - New Hope: Option 4 (C group)
About this event
Description: Our 4th year - We head to New Hope to meet up with PhillyMTCC at the New Hope Train Station. The 3 clubs will then ride together along route 29 to the Lumberville General Store for lunch.
Wear Ocean Blue Club Kit or a Major Taylor Kit.
There are 4 options...you pick your poison! Options 2, 3 & 4 head to New Hope.
Option 4 (lunch with PhillyMTCC) 9:15AM meet up time
This option will start at the South Branch River Trail, Branchburg, NJ 08853 (crossing the Neshanic Station Bridge at Elm and River Road).
You will travel along Amwell Rd, Wertsville Road and Old York Road heading to the New Hope Train Station to meet up with PhillyMT. After this short rest period all clubs (MTCCNJ, MTCJ & PhillyMT) will head to the Lumberville Cafe for a bite to eat before you head back to the South Branch River Trail parking lot. This option will give you 46 miles and 2000' feet of elevation.
