If you think Long Island is strip malls and nightmare traffic, this is your chance to discover the gilded age glory of the Gold Coast. And if you think Long Island is flat, put on your big boy pants and consider 3095 feet of climbing in 57 miles, including one humdinger with a 12% average grade.

Historic mid-19th Century African-American burial ground with markers and plaques that tell the history. Call ahead to arrange for the cemetery to be open and an historian to meet you there (201-336-7267). Lunch at Palermo's Cafe & Bakery immediately after your history lesson. There's a coffee/pit stop in West Englewood at mile 11, but the town closes down on Saturdays and Jewish holidays. In that case, detour down to Palisade Ave. and stop at the Field House in Milton Votee Park. Then you can stay on Palisade all the way to the right turn onto E. Main St.

Gorgeous ride through farmlands and rolling countryside. Starts at the Princeton Junction train station, continuing  through the wealthy outskirts of Princeton itself, to the Delaware River and  Washington’s Crossing State Park, site of the famous Revolutionary War crossing and the surprise attack against the British, to New Hope for lunch, and back along a different route.
