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
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

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!

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:

look lovely and I cannot wait for what looks like a wonderful route!

earlier is free commuter parking for Seastreak (Lot 2). (The smaller Lot 1

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

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
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

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
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

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)

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,
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
I’m happy joining the slower group, presuming I can get to the start.

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

after a few miles - I don’t want to hold anyone back, but a bit
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
I'm OK with 10/17 and the Atlantic Highlands sound good. I only know the
area from doing the Cranbury 200K in 2016.

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

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
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.

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
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
