Metric Century Hunterdon and Warren Counties

Experience riding with traffic and riding hills is needed for this nearly 65 mile road route. The first 20 miles roll through gorgeous quiet roads along a babbling brook. Hog Back Road offers the rider the first of the serious hill sections with outstanding views in more than one location. If you love to climb, then this route does not disappoint. Once by the Delaware River and into the Frenchtown area, there are plenty of places to stop for food, drinks and sweets. The route starts and ends at V5 Cycles in Flemington. In the Raritan Town Square there are ample meal opportunities at LongHorn Steakhouse, Buffalo Wild Wings, Dockside Market & Grill and Delizia’s Pizza.

At mile 17.5, there is a Bagelsmith as well as gas stations. It is a busy intersection. Proceed with caution. At almost mile 33 there is a Deli Mart. Not much further is Jimmy’s Ice Cream, open seasonally.

Before getting onto Route 12, at approximately 40 miles, stop at Maria’s in Frenchtown for a quick snack. Right next door is Cycle Corner of Frenchtown, the local bicycle shop. At mile 49.5, Highland Gourmet is another great spot to stop and pick up some nutrition or hydration. On your return you can catch a good look at the Green Sergeant’s Covered Bridge, last remaining covered bridge in New Jersey.
