Starting at Principles GI Coffeehouse in Gowanus, Brooklyn, this route takes a surprisingly un-stressful route through Manhattan into NJ where we quickly roll off the tired 9W onto some chill and delightful backroads before stopping for some donuts & coffee ~60k in. From there we get some riverside gravel passing some definitely-haunted structures before heading into the meat of the ride with some dotted surprise climbs. Right after the halfway point over the Bear Mountain Bridge we get slapped with a gnarly gravel climb that rewards us with a mildly-anxiety-inducing gravel descent. The third controle is a delightful snack stop but don’t get too full because as soon as we leave the cafe it’s big ol’ hill. A bunch more elevation follows, then the cute dam, then the fourth controle before smooth sailing all the way down the South Country Trail back through the city. Snag a slice of Steve’s Key Lime Pie at the penultimate controle then chill at Princi at the end.
