Hawk Mountain

"I recently did an awesome ride in this area. It begins at the Velodrome parking lot in Trexlertown and is 89.4 miles. It features a 679' climb up Blue Mt Ridge and a 819' climb up Hawk mountain (I noticed that you have the word ""climb"" in your email address). The cue sheet was supplied to me by Eduardo Ruchelli of the Philly Bike Club. If you're you'd like a copy of the cue sheet.

http://www.lehighwheelmen.org/cue-menu.htm is also a nice reference for rides in this area.

While we're on the subject of Pa. routes

I'm looking to do a ride from NY to Lake Harmony, Pa. Currently I'm looking at Microsoft street & trips which is always a shot in the dark. Any suggestions on routes are certainly appreciated.

I've received a great PA link .. but I need to get from NYC to PA. I am willing to train into NJ and start a ride from there. Again the ride ends in Macungie which is near Emmaus and Allentown. I plan on riding the Pagoda something on 7/5.

So who has routes across NJ? I need to be parallel-ish w/ I-78 and/or cross PA border near Easton

Thanks.
