2012 Sourland Spectacular Bike & Hike

September 8, 2012

The Sourland Planning Council will hold its first Bike & Hike event on Saturday, September 8, 2012.  

The bicycling event will offer challenging routes for serious cyclists, as well as easier alternatives for more casual bikers.  There will be coffee and snacks at regstration, and designated rest stops along the routes will offer beverages, snacks and bathroom facilities.  SAG services also will be provided.  

Hikers also will meet at the Preserve, and can choose from a wide variety of trails, all of which involve some moderate climbing. Naturalists will be on hand to guide some of the hikes, including one to the spectacular Roaring Rocks area (right), where Cruser Brook runs beneath a field of enormous boulders, creating the unique aural sensation that gives the place its name.  

Following the morning activities, hikers and bikers will join up for a catered luncheon at the preserve, and all participants will receive commemorative T-shirts. After lunch, those who biked in the morning may choose to finish off the day with a hike at the preserve.  

Mark your calendar, and check back soon for more details and on-line registration.
