On this ride we ride through many Queens and Brooklyn neighborhoods to explore the nether reaches of Queens to Laurelton which borders Nassau County. 

For those who are interested, the paper cue sheet lists all the different neighborhoods we ride through.  And for those who use turn by turn audio directions on your iphone, the audio will recite the neighborhood in addition to the turn instructions.

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.
