Raritan River Ramble

This past Saturday I had a good group ride through the Sourlands. This marks the beginning of my hill training to try and get my climbing legs back. Although we climbed a few hills this route was relatively easy and I was even able to convince a few flatlanders to join me. This was a some what new route that I made up of some of the normal roads plus a few new ones I explored last year. This will definitely be one I will do again as it had some nice scenery. I will be posting the ride sheet soon to my web site but until then you can check out the route here on google maps. I have been experimenting with the new directions feature they added a little while ago and must admit the more I use it the more useful I find it. With google maps it is still a little hard to get to route to go where you want it but once you do the street level pictures at each turn are really cool and are very useful when trying to see what the road really looks like.
