Delaware River ride
85 miles
Saturday, October 25, 2025
Hi all, planning one of my favorite New Jersey rides along the Delaware River (and the border of Pennsylvania!). Should be really beautiful. The towns we pass through are unexpectedly cute and sort of slept on by most New Yorkers... They sort of feel like NJ's answer to the Hudson Valley? We'll be passing through Princeton, Frenchtown, New Hope, and Lambertville - the last two of which were, for whatever it's worth, dubbed two of the country's LGBTQ-friendliest small towns by the NYT a couple years ago.

For folks interested in doing the Covered Bridges Ride on 10/11 but who also might balk at the logistics of getting there, this ride actually covers some of the same ground and scenery (the start/end point for Covered Bridges is Tinicum Park, which is near where this ride loops back south).
