HIDDEN LAKE TOUR
(This ride has not been verified, scheduled for 2005)

This ride sounds more difficult than it really is.  Many of the roads change names but you don’t really turn.  You can start this ride from any of the roads listed.

The ride begins on Route 22 in Bridgewater.  Headed west on 22 we take a right turn for Morning Glory Road.  When we get to the end of the ramp you will be making a left turn headed up the mountain.  We will be making our first right turn onto Middlebrook Road.

Follow Middlebrook Road to the end at Vosseller Avenue.  Be careful as Middlebrook come to a stop sign on a curve downhill and isn’t easy to see it coming.  At the stop sign, make a right turn onto Vosseller Avenue. Follow up the road about 3/4 of a mile and make a left turn onto Gilbride Road.  This is a nice road the winds and crosses a nice stream.  Stay on this road until you come to the stop sign.  At the stop sign make a right turn onto Chimney Rock Road.  Take this to the traffic light 1/2 mile up the road.  Make a left turn onto Washington Valley Road.  A little less than a 1/2 mile you will stay to your right onto Mount Horeb Road.  Mount Horeb Road turns into Liberty Corners Road and then Martinsville Road and lastly Valle Road before you make a left onto Church Street. This total section from Mount Horeb to Church is in the area of 5.5 miles.  Church Street turns in Liberty Corner Road and then it turns into Far Hills Road.  This section is about 4 miles.  Far Hills Road ends at Mine Brook Road (Rt. 202). Make a right turn onto Mine Brook Road.  Follow Mine Brook for about a mile and look to your left for Lake Road.  Make your left onto Lake Road. Be careful on Lake Road as the road splits in spots with each lane handling a different direction of traffic.  Fortunately the road is not often traveled.  You will come to the lake and travel along the lake for about a mile, but will continue past the lake and take Campbell Road on your right. Stay on Campbell for about a mile and make a right turn onto Peachcroft Drive. At the end of Peachcroft make a right onto Clark Road and another right onto Roebling Road.  When traveling down Roebling stay right as the road appears to split on you and turns into Mount Harmony Road. This section is about 1-3/4 miles.    At the stop sign make a right onto Mind Brook Road and then your first left onto Meeker Road.  Meeker is about 1-1/4 miles and will end at Whitenack Road.  Make a left turn onto Whitenack. Stay on Whitenack until you end at Mount Airy Road, you’ll be making a right turn onto Mount Airy. After about 1.3 miles you will come to Lyons Road.  You will be making a left onto Lyons Road.  Stay to your right on Lyons as you want to take S. Finley Avenue which is to your right about 1.5 miles after getting onto Lyons Road.  This then turns into Stonehouse Road, Valley Road, King George Road, Mount Bethel Road, and finally Warrenville Road which brings you down to Route 22 in Green Brook.

I would advise you to look at a map prior to taking the ride.  The tricky part is after you past the lake.
