C25 T2 Paulinskill Valley Trail

Ride description:

Care to join two near-newbie bike leaders on a trail many likely have never ridden? Or, at least, for not in quite a while? Set your phone or car’s GPS for the Google map link below. Be ready to ride at 9:45 am from the trailhead parking lot in Blairstown as we ride to the east and north from Blairstown on a rails-to-trails venture. A thicker tired bike will likely make your ride a bit more comfortable than your skinny tired road bike.

Bring your best-made PB&J sandwiches and appropriate snacks and filled water bottles along for the ride as we don't know (yet) if/when/where there may be a nice picnic table or area to eat our lunch around the noon hour. For those who would prefer to be served a meal, it looks like there’s a diner very close to the parking lot named The Blairstown Diner that has deli sandwiches, wraps, breakfast at any time, etc. Maybe in the future this may be a good alternative to hauling our own food on our bikes.

We’re “scouting” this trail out as a possible viable occasional alternative to our home pathways of ”The Columbia Trail” in High Bridge and our beloved “D & R Trail” along the Delaware.

It’s about an hours drive north from Flemington, and we know the price of gas has been high lately. But if you’re looking for a route you may have never experienced, come ride with us as we seek out scenic vistas and points of interest and historical sites that we may never have seen before.

No drops as we hope to keep whatever size our group may be somewhat together throughout the ride as we try to see some wildlife and lake views and lots of leaves on the trail.

Helmets Mandatory
Front/rear flashers recommended
