C33 T3 Pre-Bike Races High Bridge Ride (08/08/2026)

Sat, 08 Aug 2026 14:00:00 GMT

There are bike races in High Bridge beginning around noon. The idea is to do this ride and then anyone interested can stay and watch the racing (or just have a beer at Eskar Hart).

The ride is hilly overall, but none of the individual hills are too difficult. We can take our time :) We will stop about halfway at the BP station convenience store on Payne Road/Route 31 (aka the Red Horse to Hunterdon County old-timers :)) But as always, you should be prepared with your own snacks and drinks.

When we return to High Bridge, in addition to the usual food/drink options in town, they are advertising that there will be a beer garden and food trucks. You may want to bring a chair if you plan to stay and watch the races.

Helmets required. Front and rear lights recommended. Rain will cancel.
