Southern
New Jersey is the least populous section of the most densely populated
state in the nation. Bicyclists look to South Jersey for several
reasons, but the two most important seem to be the flat terrain
and the rural, undeveloped farmlands and forest preserves. RIDE
GUIDE: South Jersey offers 26 routes for cyclists who wish to explore
this often-overlooked region.
This
new edition adds four off-road rides for those who wish to immerse
themselves in nature. But cyclists who stick to the pavement won't
be disappointed. There are rides in each of the eight southern counties,
featuring views of the Atlantic Ocean, Delaware Bay, and the Pine
Barrens. Four lighthouses, two wineries, a zoo, a rodeo, and numerous
historical sites invite the cyclist to take a break and learn the
local lore.
RIDE
GUIDE provides all the information you'll need for a cycle tour
in South Jersey, including turn-by-turn cue sheets, detailed maps,
and notes on traffic and road conditions. The authors-residents
of Cape May County-spin the tales behind the many points of interest
along the way.
Whether
you're from northern New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware,
or have lived in South Jersey your entire life, RIDE GUIDE: South
Jersey is an indispensable addition to your cycling library.
