Re: [RBW] Re: Anyone interested in a Ride in NJ in October?

[Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!]

Congrats on a great ride together! I was so excited to hear all the details and 
see the photos. These are tough, solitary times; it makes getting together that 
much more precious. a huge pat on the back to #RivSister Roberta for organizing 
a Riv Ride! And great photos, Bob. Oh, and thanks for the details, Kai!

Re: [RBW] Re: Anyone interested in a Ride in NJ in October?

[Patrick Moore]

Thanks to Bob and others for posting photos.

Bob: in photo 8, bike facing sea, big saddlebag facing viewer: What bar is
that? And: how do you like it?

I hope before too long to get a Monocog 29er up and running, and I will
probably want to replace the stock bar. I want a more upright than usual
position, but with some lean, and some back-curve to the grips to assuage
my very sensitive left palm. I generally prefer drop bars because of this
palm, but heartily dislike the wide ones (anything over 44 cm at the center
of the curves) this bike would require.

Thanks.

Re: [RBW] Re: Anyone interested in a Ride in NJ in October?

Hi all,

I was hoping to make it today, but alas, family obligations have 
intervened. 

It sounds like I may meet a few of you this spring when the NJ Randonneurs 
(fingers crossed) get going again. 

Happy riding!

 Regarding the ride from Sandy Hook to Long Branch: It's a nice (and

 ride from Sandy Hook to Long Branch starts off alongside a large rock 
 seawall on a paved trail, but that's only for a couple of miles -- after

 To give you an idea of what some of the route is like, the photos in

 (bypassed Sandy Hook that time), rode down Rt. 36 and hit the beach at

Re: [RBW] Re: Anyone interested in a Ride in NJ in October?

[Roberta]

Our ride is just three days away and, I'm very excited.  I want to bring my 
A Home Hilsen, but it doesn't have fenders, so I'll decide on Saturday 
morning.  I'll bring my Joe Appaloosa if I feel a fendered bike would be 
better.  The weather forecast might just be perfect:

  A few showers in the morning, then sunny in 
the afternoon. High near 60F. Winds NW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 50%.

Look forward to seeing everyone.  Perhaps we can have a check in here, 
since schedules do change?

Re: [RBW] Re: Anyone interested in a Ride in NJ in October?

[Bob Ehrenbeck]

Regarding directions: Plug this into your GPS: 

2 Simon Lake Drive
Atlantic Highlands, NJ 07716

Regarding parking: Lot 1 might fill up sooner, but Lots 1 and 2 are right 
next to each other, so it really doesn't matter; we'll see each other. Even 
if you park on the street somewhere, just come down to the trail.

Regarding the trail surface: I haven't been on the HHT since 2018, but I 
seem to remember that most of the trail is paved, and what isn't is a very 
fine crushed stone surface -- in other words, any bike and any tire will be 
fine on it. 

Regarding the climb: They are approaches to a fairly high bridge, but the 
grade really isn't bad at all.

Regarding the ride from Sandy Hook to Long Branch: It's a nice (and 
shorter) alterntive to going back to Matawan. As Dave pointed out, the ride 
from Sandy Hook to Long Branch starts off alongside a large rock seawall on 
a paved trail, but that's only for a couple of miles -- after that, you're 
on Rt. 36 as you enter downtown Sea Bright. After Sea Bright, there's a 
wide shoulder and you pass nice homes and some beach clubs. At Long Branch 
Rt. 36 turns into a four-lane highway (Ocean Blvd), so I've turned onto

Do you think we need any more directions for the folks coming???  The train 
and ferry NYC folks seem to know what to do.  Are the driving "directions" 
adequate wrt to getting there and parking.  Fairly simple:  Get to GSP 
South to Atlantic City, get off at NJ SR36, take SR36 to Atlantic Highlands 
and turn left on 1st Ave (it's a jug handle, make a right to the loop to 
1st Ave and cross SR36 at the light).   Go down 1st to the almost the end 
and go in Parking Lot on Bob E's map. and parking?? 

I always worry about parking in busy areas.  Schools, parks and shopping 
centers are ok, but 'downtown' areas could be challenging.  Parking Lot #1 
looks to be safe and the best choice.

Thanks for the link highlighting the Seastreak ferry parking Lots #1, #2, 
#3, & #4 as well as the text descripton.  It was a very big help. I was 
using Bing Maps and they show Hennessey Blvd as West Ave.

I suggest meeting in Parking Lot #1, at 1st Ave and Sutton Way.   It 
appears paved with painted parking spaces. 

The small lot I was referring to is at the southern end of Lot #2 and the 
eastern end of Lot #3 and boarding the HHT path.  The aerial map you 
provided shows this as a dirt lot.  The Bing aerial shows it as paved with 
parking spaces.  But Lot#1 is better and easier to find.

Dave S mentions the HHT between AH and Highlands is gravel.  Is it crushed 
gravel or loose???

Re: [RBW] Re: Anyone interested in a Ride in NJ in October?

[Roberta]

That looks beautiful, Dave.  

I was going to bring my A Homer Hilsen (42 tires), but that doesn't have 
fenders.  And, you mention gravel.  Would fendered Joe Appaloosa (47 tires) 
be better?  Or, is it whichever bike "speaks" to me that day?

I'm OK going up moderate hills that aren't too steep (but nothing like 
Leah's killer hill), but if your wife wants to walk it, I'll be happy to do 
so with her.  I'm also not used to big hills.  On my first ride for MS, I 
got over the bridge to Ocean City, NJ  OK.

John,

Per the aerial map in the below link (scroll down), the area I mentioned 
earlier is free commuter parking for Seastreak (Lot 2). (The smaller Lot 1 
also works, if spaces are available at 11:30.) I think you were looking at 
Lot 3.) I believe what you're suggesting is Lot 4, which would also work. 
But wherever you may want to park, you'll be sure to see Rivs circling 
about.

Concerning parking in Atlantic Highlands for those coming by car, you 
suggested:

"I suggest the Atlantic Highlands meet-up location be the parking lot along 
First Ave (left side as you head toward the pier)."

I looked at the map and the entire left side of 1st Ave seems to be a large 
parking, with lots of SUVs/truck with boat trailers attached (to be 
expected fo r a marine location).

Would a better place be the parking area on the west side of West Ave right 
after West Ave passes Bay Ave (going north on West towards the ferry 
terminal)???  The parking spots are lined and border the HHT.   Might be 
better than mixing it up with boat trailers??

Any thoughts???

Thanks Dave, The sea wall to Long Branch does sound nice, having seen a lot 
of, maybe too much, ocean in my time...
If I can make the ride, I'll likely give an extra hour from Matawan to 
allow myself some meandering on the way.

Re: [RBW] Re: Anyone interested in a Ride in NJ in October?

[Dave]

The ride south from sandy hook is cool but not as scenic.  There is a huge
ocean wall that would block your beach view for a lot of it but i guess its
sorta neat itself.  When you get to long branch, there are a lot of
restaurants (its a college town) and a microbrewery type place (whitehouse
chapel).

On the flipside, atlantic highlands has one of the top rated pizza places
in the country (una) and an awesome craft ice cream place (nicholas) and as
someone else mentioned Carton Brewing.  Im not really sure what the covid
situation is for any of these place but I know Nicholas is open (wife’s
fav).

Re: [RBW] Re: Anyone interested in a Ride in NJ in October?

['John Hawrylak' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I got confused by Atlantic Highlands and a town further east called 
Highlands.  I see the difference now.

On the Bing aerial map the whole 1st Ave/Hennessey area in AH looks like a 
parking lot with trucks with boat trailers (shouldn't be surprised close to 
the water).  Any particular spot to meet up? 

on the Bing aerial map, there appears to be a narrow trail between AH 
(eastern end of the parking lot) which runs right along the water to the 
next town further east.  Is this the old RR bed??  It appears to be between 
the water and Mt Mitchell.

Seems like a tentative schedule is:
*  People driving:  Be ready to ride in AH at the 1st Ave/Hennessey parking 
lot at 1130
*  Wait for NYC folks coming on the NJ Transit train scheduled in Matawan 
at 1011 and riding to AH on the HHT.  They should arrive by 1130.
*  Ride to Highlands ferry dock to get NYC folks coming on the 1145 ferry.
*  Everyone ride out to Sandy Hook.  
*  Retrace routes back with the train folks going to Long Branch to catch 
the train or riding HHT back to Matawan for the same or later train

Re: [RBW] Re: Anyone interested in a Ride in NJ in October?

[Bob Ehrenbeck]

The HHT Activity Center has no parking and it's right along busy and noisy 
Rt. 36; the Shore Casino appears to be a banquet hall (not a casino), so I 
suggest the Atlantic Highlands meet-up location be the parking lot along 
First Ave (left side as you head toward the pier). We can then ride to 
Highlands to meet up with anyone arriving by ferry. (Remember, according to 
Seastreak's website there is no ferry at Atlantic Highlands at this time.)

Most of the path from Matawan to Highlands is a former railroad grade, so 
it's basically flat. Between Atlantic Highlands and Highlands, it runs 
right along the bay, so it avoids Mt. Mitchell. The only climbs are the 
bridge approaches, but they're not bad. 

It should also be noted that the trail is segmented in Atlantic Highlands 
-- once one reaches Avenue D, turn left and head down Avenue D, make a 
right onto Center Ave, and pick up the trail resurfaces at the intersection 
of Center and Hennessey. Also, the trail ends at Popamora Point, so the 
ride continues on Shore Drive through Highlands to reach the bridge.

Regarding food, there are some places in Highlands along the main drag (Bay 
Ave). I might probably just bring my own lunch and avoid going inside.

Re: [RBW] Re: Anyone interested in a Ride in NJ in October?

['John Hawrylak' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Bob

I had the same thought for the train riders:  NJ Transit to Matawan, bike 
the HHT to meet main group at either:
*  HHT Activity Center at approx 1130   or 
*  Shore Casino, Ferry Dock in town at 1145 (ferry arrival)
Train riders could return to NYC via Long Branch or Matewan (if a longer 
rider is desired).
The HHT avoids the city streets if a station further east than Matawan is 
used for the arrival

This also allows for drivers to meet at the HHT Activity or the Ferry Dock  
or   park at the western end of the HHT and ride to the eastern end and 
meet the main group.

Is the path from AH to Bridge to Sandy Hook flat or do you climb Mt 
Mitchell??  This cold be the ONLY 'climb' for the ride, other than the 
bridge approach.

Any suggestions for a place to eat???

Re: [RBW] Re: Anyone interested in a Ride in NJ in October?

[Bob Ehrenbeck]

Yes, John, those driving directions are the best way to get there.

Regarding restrooms: According to the Monmouth County Park System's 
website, there a restroom at the HHT Activity Center at Rt. 36 and Avenue 
D, and there's also one at Popamora Point, at the eastern end of the trail 
in Highlands. There are also some restrooms along the way in Sandy Hook at 
the beach complexes:

https://www.nps.gov/gate/planyourvisit/upload/MUP_Wayside-Map_rev5July2017.pdf

But looking just now at Seastreak's schedule, it doesn't show a stop at 
Atlantic Highlands! (Might be a temporary thing because of reduced demand 
due to COVID?) It does stop further east at Highlands, though. Also, the 
earliest Saturday or Sunday arrival at Highlands is 11:45am, and the last 
two boats depart Highlands at 4:30pm and 7:30pm.

So, just to throw out an idea, maybe those taking the train (or who want to 
get a longer ride in) can start at Matawan (NJT North Jersey Coast Line 
train #7229 leaves NYP at 9:07am and arrives at Aberdeen/Matawan at 
10:11am), head east to meet up with those who want to start at Atlantic 
Highlands at, say 11:30am, and then continue east (IMO, the most scenic 
portion of the "mainland" is between Atlantic Highlands and Highlands) to 
pick up those arriving by ferry at Highlands at 11:45am and then cross the 
bridge to hit Sandy Hook. (Similar situation for the return, but the train 
riders have the option of returning to Aberdeen/Matawan or heading south 
for a shorter trip to Long Branch).

Any thoughts on this?

The SeaStreak dock is right there.  Someone mentioned earlier it's about 
$50 compared to $30 for the train but way more fun and convenient..  maybe 
safer too (there are outdoor seats)

1st Ave and Hennessey appears to be be the Shore Casino with plenty of 
parking and hopefully restrooms.  It seems like a good Start/Finish point.  
This would be the 20/25M loop out to Sandy Hook

Driving seems to be GSP to NJ36 near Matawan and then NJ36 to AH and 1st 
Ave.  There don't appear to be direct roads if you stay on the GSP further 
east and then come north to AH.   Is this correct or are there better 
routes?

Only problem would be the NYC folks coming by train to reach the Start.  
 Would the HHT be the best way for them to come from Matawan or are there 
better choices if they stay on the train past Matawan and get off at 
another station??   They could go down to Long Branch for the return trip.

Paul,

I will miss you. I know it's a longer drive for you, but would have been 
great if your wife and daughter could have come up, too.

I am excited about a nice, healthy ride.  I still probably won't be able to 
keep up with the fast crowd for the entire time, but I'm OK with that.  All 
the ride options look like lovely.  Thanks to John and Bob and everyone 
else for offering suggestions.NY people, are the meetup suggestions 
easy enough for you?

Re: [RBW] Re: Anyone interested in a Ride in NJ in October?

['John Hawrylak' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I checked the mileage from Atlantic Highlands to Sandy Hook light using 
Bing maps.  They show 9.3M, which is shorter than I thought.

So here is a summary with mileage rounded up:

Henry Hudson Trail (HHT), North Section, Matewan  to Atlantic Highlands,
  12M   HHT brochure, Monmouth Co Parks
Atlantic Highlands to Sandy Hook Light,  city streets, NJ36 bridge over 
bay  10M   Bing Maps
Total 1 way Distance
22M  
Round Trip Distance, with some extra miles thrown in
50M   Really FLAT terrain, RR bed and sea 
level streets/roads

If the Basic Group is 12-14 mph, then Total Riding Time is about 4H.  
 Total Clock time is probably 5 to 6 H depending on how many stops.

The Matewan trail head has these advantages
1  Easy access from/to the GSP for folks coming in car.  Exit GSP, turn 
left, go over the GSP on overpass, make 1st right and 1 block to HHT.  Very 
minimal local road travel required.  99M from southern NJ on NJTP, NJ440, & 
GSP,  1H 45M travel time
2  Easy access from/to the Matewan RR station for folks from NYC on NJ 
Transit.  About 1M of city streets and NO major highway travel

The eastern end of the HHT in Atlantic Highlands has a HHT Activity Center, 
which may have restrooms and water fountains.  Can stop going out and 
coming back.

Overall starting in Matewan makes a lot of sense: reasonable 50M ride 
distance and time over FLAT terrain,  *possible* restrooms at 12M out and 
35M back,  good  commuter train access.  A 50M ride is reasonable given the 
distances folks will be travelling to get there.

Can someone local confirm or correct this.I would check out myself, but 
it's pretty far to travel (99M, and tolls)

Re: [RBW] Re: Anyone interested in a Ride in NJ in October?

[Bob Ehrenbeck]

Starting from Atlantic Highlands (First Ave & Hennessey), it's about 4 
miles to the ocean (after passing through the town of Highlands and then 
crossing the Rt. 36 bridge, which has cycling/ped infrastructure). From the 
bridge, the basic loop to the end of Sandy Hook and back to the bridge is 
around 12 miles (of course, it's more if you decide to ride around and hit 
up all some interesting points up there). So, the trip from AH to SH and 
back to AH will be about 20-25 miles.

Now if one were to start at the Matawan train station, it's around 11 miles 
to reach Atlantic Highlands, so the trip from Matawan to Sandy Hook and 
back will then be roughly 45 miles. (To use Jan Heine's terms, think of 
that portion as the "transport stage" to reach the start of the "official" 
ride at AH!)

Another option for those coming by train would be to continue south along 
the ocean after Sandy Hook and take Rt. 36/Ocean Ave for most of the way to 
pick up the return train at Long Branch (it's 7 miles from the Rt. 36 
bridge to the station). So that trip from Matawan to AH to SH to LB would 
be around 34 miles.

Re: [RBW] Re: Anyone interested in a Ride in NJ in October?

['John Hawrylak' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Roberta

I was thinking of 12-14 mph on flat ground, others could go faster, but I'm 
content with slower pace.  The HHT is a railroad bed, so grades are minimal 
and gradual.  

We could start at the east end of it (by Highlands), if distance to Sandy 
Hook is too great.  It saves 12M and about 1H.  But I don't know about the 
distance to the train station at the east end.  The Red Bank line goes 
south east after Matawan, greatly increasing the distance between a station 
and the HHT.

Sounds like a ride might be coming together.  We need input from a "local'.

I would like to see the Rivendells and possibly ride one (never did, need 
53-54cm "normal' frame size).

I think we'll need two rides, then (and I do realize I might be the only one on 
the slow ride. I’m ok with that ),. as I cannot go as fast or as far as most 
(probably  all) of you.  We could all meet together and then split perhaps 
after a few miles - I don’t want to hold anyone back, but a bit of pre- ride 
social distant socializing and ogling of bikes would do the soul good. 

Look forward to meeting everyone!

Re: [RBW] Re: Anyone interested in a Ride in NJ in October?

['John Hawrylak' via RBW Owners Bunch]

A possible Start/End could be the Henry Hudson Trailhead at Broadway/Lloyd 
Rd/Gerard Ave in Aberdeen/Keyport.  Looks like 32 parking spots at the 
trail head.  The Matawan train station looks to be < 1M and has city 
streets to the trail head for the NYC folks.

12M along trail to Popamora Point (Highlands??) and you avoid Rt 36.  
 Don't know how far it is to Sandy Hook from there.  Possibly 60 to 70M 
total if going out to Sandy Hook.  Would need to start about 0900 or 
earlier??

You should be able to park in Atlantic Highlands or at the ferry terminal
in Highlands.

A good friend owns a brewery in Atlantic Highlands (Carton Brewing) so we
could grab some beers before/after if anyone is up for that. This location
is v convenient for NY’ers via the Seastreak ferry. It is kinda pricey tho
($50-ish roundtrip with a bike, I think).

I would perfer the Hudson Trail area. Sandy Hook sounds nice.  I think Mt 
Mitchell Overlook is a nice view with the climb coming from the west.

Is parking available???

[RBW] Re: Anyone interested in a Ride in NJ in October?

[Bob Ehrenbeck]

What kind of rides is everyone interested in? What distances do you have in 
mind? Here are some thoughts right off the top of my head:

The only scenic section of the Henry Hudson Trail is the very short section 
between Atlantic Highlands and Highlands. So, a nice ride could be to start 
from Atlantic Highlands, ride along the Raritan Bay into Highlands, then 
cross the bridge over the Shrewsbury River (a little bit of a climb) and 
hit Sandy Hook, which is really nice. Once there, you can ride along Sandy 
Hook Bay, ride past old officers quarters, gun emplacements, and a 
lighthouse. This is a 25-30 mile round trip. (But starting from the Matawan 
train station to the west would add another 20 miles to the round trip.)

Another option is Patriots Path, which one can pick up not too far from the 
Morristown train station (actually, Morris Plains might be better to avoid 
Morristown traffic). Starting from Speedwell Lake, the eastern part is 
paved, but it turns to dirt singletrack soon enough for the rest of the way 
westward. It's all off road, cross-country stuff -- diverse landscapes, 
mostly flat, but there are some rollers and a few short but steep hills in 
the middle with roots (you can always get off your bike and hike it up). 
The area gets progressively less suburban as you head further west, and by 
the time you reach Mendham, there's even a nice little water crossing. It's 
about a 20 mile round trip from Morristown to Mendham and back.

If you're looking for just a little chill ride for a get-together, another 
place is the Loantaka Brook Reservation (Morristown area), coupled with 
some road stretches in the area with the Traction Line Trail. (Getting off 
the train at Convent Station will put you off literally right alongside the 
Traction Line Trail.) Nice, varied terrain, although the trails tend to get 
crowded on the weekend.

The D Canal towpath is nice. The more scenic section is the one that runs 
along the Delaware River (but might be too far for New Yorkers). There's 
also a section between New Brunswick and Trenton with a nice stretch around 
Princeton. An option could be to get off the train at Bound Brook, pick up 
the trail there, and head south to Kingston and Princeton (but that's 
around a 40-mile round trip, mostly through nothing but trees along a 
canal).

The Columbia Trail is another nice one. There's a train stop very close to 
the southern trailhead at High Bridge, but the trains don't go that far 
west on weekends. But from there, it's a 22-mile round trip between there 
and the Long Valley Brew Pub.

['John Hawrylak' via RBW Owners Bunch]

The east west portion (along Raritan Bay) covers the same area as the 
Cranbury 200K.  The view from the Highlands is nice especially if it is a 
clear day.  10/17 sounds good to me.

[RBW] Re: Anyone interested in a Ride in NJ in October?

[Roberta]

I cannot make it 10/10 and Justin can make it only on 10/10 or 10/17, so 
how does 10/17 sound to everyone?   I'm assuming that whoever didn't note a 
date is probably fine with most dates and we can hope most can come?

To me, all trails within an easy commute for everyone are fine.  Michael 
and Dave, the HH Tail looks nice.  Ride, pack a lunch, ride some more?   
How does the HH Trail sound to everyone?   Those in NY should choose, 
really, as they are all new to me, but you might want something different.  
For whatever trail we go on, someone who is familiar with the trail should 
name a meeting place.

The other rides look interesting, but too long for me, so perhaps the 
others will get together sans Roberta another time!  perhaps one day I'll 
ride 1/2 of the Half dirty populaire!  The southern most point is about 50 
miles from me.

I would be interested, depending on the weekend. Planning to do the Nutmeg 
Nor'Easter in CT the weekend of 10/24 and of course Halloween is blocked 
off for the kiddo. Possibly 10/17 or 10/10? I'll be coming from Brooklyn, 
can meet up wherever. The Seastreak from Highlands is convenient for 
returning to the city.

 NYC peeps can pick up the henry hudson trail or the edgar felix bikepath 
almost directly from the train stations.  Both are somewhat scenic with 
almost no elevation. Sandy Hook is great too but I think the ferry shuts 
down at the end of sept.  That said, you can just about ride the HHT to 
Sandy Hook.
