Down to Princeton, across Pretty Brook (with some demanding hills), then Carter and Crusher into Hopewell. And back.

The usual stuff: No toilets at start. Stops as needed. Planned rest stop at Boro Bean. (If you're going to use the facilities, please plan to buy something...)

Note that some have complained that RideWithGPS underreports the amount of climb.

Faster riders are welcome to come to the start, take the route, and go off the front. I intend to ride within the stated pace range. Nobody dropped.

Riders-in can meet us at Griggstown Firehouse about fifteen minutes after the scheduled ride start (or anywhere else along the route), but let me know in advance if you're gonna do that.

If you're planning to listen to music on this ride, use bone-conduction headphones. Earbuds, over-the-ear headphones, or music audible to other riders, are not permitted.

It's been a while since I did this one, partly because I wasn't sure I was up to it myself. I'm still not sure, but let's do it anyway. I hope to see youse.
