UPDATE: The carpool from Lawrenceville will leave at 8 a.m. Contact me (see below) if you want to be part of it.

The Return of Over the Hill(Slug)s and Far Away

Saturday, 18 April
9:00 a.m.
B-/B
45-50 miles

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 scenery that will blow your mind. There will be two rest stops. Nobody will be dropped. Pace-pushers are not welcome. Wet roads cancel.

I've tweaked the route a little so we can try out some roads I've never been on. But, hey, if it's called "Frog Hollow" then we really have no choice.

If you want to carpool up there, please contact me at perpetualheadwinds at gmail dot com. We'll be leaving from the Lawrenceville area.

If you want to drive to Pluckemin on your own, here are the directions:

Rt 206 N to Somerville Circle
1/4 of way around the circle and follow signs for Rt 22/Rt 287
Stay in left lane and follow signs for Rt 287 N
Rt 287 N to Exit 22 (towards Pluckemin)
Drops you onto Rt 202/206 South
1st traffic light is a jughandle for the shopping center
Go through that traffic light to the next traffic light
Make right onto Burnt Mills Rd
Parking lot is behind bank - first left
