    Default Great Swamp area (NJ) ride on Thursday?

    Work is going to find me in NJ this week and looks like I will have Thursday morning free. If anyone is in the vicinity and is up for 3-4 hours in the Basking Ridge area- drop me a line. I don't get to ride up that way very much, nor do I often have weekdays open, so I'm looking to take advantage.

    Thanks,
    Matt

    I might be able to take the morning off.

    Would still be interested in those wheels if you had room to bring them.

    doubled is a Basking Ridge local as well.

    Word- I'll drop you an email once I'm sure my plans are solid.

    Hey gentlemen,

    For some cool climbs and descents check out these roads in the Bernardsville/Far Hills area, easily accessible from 202:

    Mt. Harmony Rd - ~ 1.8 miles, cool hairpin that feels like Alpe d'Huez.
    Post Kennel/Mitchell/Pennbrook Rd - at the top of Mt. Harmony, good climb but more fun to go down, a few humps to catch some air!
    Peachcroft Dr, Campbell Rd - gradual at the bottom, steep at the top, watch that first bend if going down.
    Lake Rd - newly paved and picturesque.

    The Sports People bike shop in Far Hills is a nice place for a pit stop. Last time I was there Cervelos and Looks to drool over if you like...

    Have fun guys,
    HS

    I would normally be down to ride. I live in Basking Ridge but go to school in Albany. Enjoy Mt. Harmony its a fun NJ style climb. some other salonistas live in the area including JonathanB it think that just got the white gaulzetti carbon from flux. Good shop to stop at is High Gear Cyclery in stirling, some nice people. Talk to Eric, he loves to tell stories.

    Thanks suha. I'm starting to learn these roads as I moved to the area back in September. Definitely enjoy the Post Kennel area. We actually had a ride with a friend a couple weeks back come to an early end on Roebling (top of Post Kennel) with a trip in an ambulance, but fortunately everything worked out and she walked away with stitches.
