Sunday's weather looks great, and there are no bad roads on this ride. The last downhill looks and feels like a descent from the top of the world. Here's the description before it got dropped from the Freewheel (the online version anyway):

OVER THE HILL(SLUG)S AND FAR AWAY:

The drive to Pluckemin will be worth it for this scenic ride in the northern Hunterdon County hills. There will be a few big climbs for us to take our time on and a huge downhill that will blow your mind. There will be two rest stops. Nobody will be dropped. Pace-pushers are not welcome. Wet roads cancel.
