Tour the beautiful rural Sourlands region of central NJ. There will be a variety of flat routes and hilly longer routes.

Families are welcome and can picnic and bike the roads within Skillman Park one-quarter mile from the start. Pre-registration is highly recommended by May 26 (online registration will close June 3) and guarantees a quicker check-in, bike cap, and lower registration fee.
