Here’s a local one for you. Did this with a few friends last summer. A little smaller at only 200 miles haha and makes for a nice full day ride. Probably run it again this year.

Route starts at a gas station right off I-87 which makes for a nice meeting point.

Cuts across Harriman on the lower road, through Warwick and then to the High Point Monument in NJ. You have to pay to ride up but it’s a nice view and place to rest, not a lot of shade though.

Back to Hwy 23 and up to Port Jervis and onto Hawks Nest. Cross the Delaware at Shohola, PA and swing by Rohman’s Pub for some food or a round of bowling.

After that you’ll wind your way back through PA and NJ to get to Hwy 23 (on its own it’s a good road) and a small off-shoot to a last little bit of fun before expressway to the GWB. The last marker on the track is to the park under the bridge.

Note that some of the small gas stations along the Delaware River are not 24hrs. We almost had a fuel emergency.

Have 2 or 3 more if you want me to post them up. Pretty much all are full day rides

Couple months ago I bought a new bike in South Carolina and rode it home. I hate interstates so took the scenic route. Did it over 4 days and 960 miles on a 450.

Mostly 2 lane highways and there is some gravel sections. Max speed limit for most of the roads is 60-65. Plenty of fuel station available for those with short range but most importantly, lots of fast and slower twisties and scenery.

In case you’re looking for an adventure…

God I miss the BBQ

*edit
I will say it is kinda boring until Strasburg, VA though a cool section in NJ along a river.
