I love this book. I picked it up at a bike store when I bought a new bike and am having a great time trying all the routes. They are on the longish side - most are 30-40 miles - so this book is meant for those looking for a good half to full day ride. On the other hand, you don't have to be very experienced. I took my first 30-mile ride using this book.

Before using this book, I had no idea there were so many beautiful and interesting places to explore in central Jersey. This book has taken me through numerous quaint towns, alongside beautiful lakes, rivers and ocean boardwalks, and allowed me to try local restaurants and food as I bike.

The directions are clear (I've never found myself more than a few blocks off-track) and the author includes helpful information about local attractions and sights along the way. Most of these routes are worth an entire day - adding in some sightseeing, relaxing and exploring along with the biking.

A wonderful way to get some exercise and explore the state.

Ride Gu : Central Jersey, 2nd ed. (Ride Guides)
Interesting rides - but use caution. Major reasons are (a) some roads with no or very narrow shoulders and/or road crowding guard rails for quite long distances are included in a few routes and (b) updates or additional details are sometimes needed - so check Google Maps or Mapquest before setting out.

Open University publisher;

an excellent reference book for all students
