Description: 90% flat to low (1-2%) rollers, a few slightly steeper rollers, long 2% desents and a moderate climb under 1 mile make this an easy ride. All roads have A-1 pavement and you will be on the shaded side. To keep up with Skylands tradition, there's one respectable 6 mile climb over the Gunk Mtns, with an option to enter Minnewaska State Park and do a heart pounding 0.5 mile climb to the summit. Views of the Catskill Mtns and a crystal lake with limestone cliffs at the summit. No charge to enter park on bicycles. Beach and Hot Dog stand on top. Start: At Montague ShopRite on NJ Rt. 23, 0.5 miles from end at US Rt. 6. |
