Parking Lot 10, Mercer County Park (enter from South Post Road)
Honest pace C+, shore to please, guaranteed to cover my favorite road in the correct direction...downhill naturally! I always say this road is..."what the enjoyment of road cycling is all about". Come see for yourself and let me know if it is among your favorites. Of course nobody gets dropped and take a mask for the rest stop if you need.
Mercer County Park Lot 10
The route is a tour through the neighborhoods of West Windsor. The roads are relatively quiet and some have dedicated bike lanes. Vertically there's not so much of a hill as a gradual rise here and there. This is not a race, there is no hurry, just enjoy the day, hopefully we'll have good weather. As an added bonus and befitting of the day, we can stop by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial which is next to the parking lot in Mercer County Park. Here's the route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/39334824
