The new section of the Henry Hudson Trail in Freehold could open any day.
Time for an update on the Henry Hudson Trail.
Continue reading “I biked to Freehold for the Henry Hudson Trail and ended up in a brewery”We relied on the D&R Canal towpath for most of our bike ride to Ashton Brewing in Middlesex Borough.
I’m nominating Ashton Brewing in Middlesex Borough as the place to find some really weird — as in unusual, in the nicest way — beers.
Continue reading “Yes, I tried a peanut butter beer on this bike ride”The quest for “weird” beer continues.
We braved the mud and the wind — oh that wind! — to reach the Druery Brewery using the D&R Canal towpath and the Lawrence Hopewell Trail.
Continue reading “A bike ride to a new brewery just off the Lawrence Hopewell Trail”For you TL;DR types, this 0.4-mile addition into the center of Freehold could be open in two months, so the end of April.
February temps in the 60s … had to get outside. And part of that included checking out the progress on the extension of the Henry Hudson Trail into Freehold.
For you TL;DR types, this 0.4-mile addition could be open in two months, so the end of April.

I’m excited to bike the Ohio to Erie Trail in June …. or should I say Erie to Ohio?
Continue reading “I’m planning a bike ride on the Ohio to Erie Trail — got any tips?”I’m now using the paved path to the Mount Rose parking lot to shave off a bit of biking on Carter Road
There’s now a paved wide pathway from the Mount Rose Preserve parking lot off Carter Road in Hopewell Township, NJ, to the Mount Rose section of the Lawrence Hopewell Trail.
Continue reading “This technically isn’t part of the Lawrence Hopewell Trail — but I love it”This is so much better than hauling your bike up stairs or cutting through a hotel parking lot to reach the D&L Trail.
When I first discovered the section of Pennsylvania’s D&L Trail that goes south to Bristol, the route would almost dead-end at an auto-repair shop in Morrisville. You had to creep around the side, then dash across Bridge Street/Lincoln Highway and finally haul your bike down a flight of stairs to reconnect with the canal towpath.
On the way back it was even worse, because you’d have to push your bike up those stairs.
Continue reading “Good news: Another gap on the D&L Trail disappears”This trail won’t win any beauty awards. But it’s a stress-free route through suburban sprawl in Bucks and Montgomery counties.
I’ll be honest: the 202 Parkway Trail in Pennsylvania’s Bucks and Montgomery counties is never going to win any beauty awards. That said, it blazes an almost stress-free path through suburban sprawl. That’s worth a lot.
Continue reading “I biked the 202 Parkway Trail — here’s what it’s like”The Delaware and Lehigh Trail is Pennsylvania’s other long-distance bike trail. Four of us headed out for two days of biking fun (and a few pinball games).
The Delaware and Lehigh Trail is Pennsylvania’s other long-distance bike trail, much less known than the Great Allegheny Passage but almost as long now (and will be longer once it’s finished).
I’ve biked the southern half of the D&L, from Bristol (outside Philadelphia) to Bethlehem. With some sunny and warm days in the forecast for November, it was time to tackle another big chunk.
Continue reading “2 days biking on the D&L Trail with some pinball wizards”It’s no longer just downhill along the Adige bike path. Plus tips for your own DIY trip.
Remember the tunnel the train went through as we headed up to Bolzano and beyond? Now we find out how we will will get across that mountain — and it’s not with a bike tunnel.
