From Stamford · Rumson, Sea Bright & the Navesink

Full-day version that starts in Stamford: it adds the ride there and back to Rumson, Sea Bright & the Navesink. Here is what you'll find on the core stretch:

A short coastal loop: Rumson to Sea Bright, Ocean Avenue between the ocean and the river, Highlands, the woods of Hartshorne, and back along Navesink River Road to Red Bank. Gentle curves, water everywhere and views of the Manhattan skyline from the Highlands heights. A cruising pace, made for Monmouth County clubs or a summer evening. Beach season brings heavy traffic through Sea Bright; Sandy Hook is left out (it's out-and-back and charges for parking in summer).
