The Legendary New Hope Ride

August 11, 2024

A Ride For Everyone

115 Miles

This is the full course. You’ve been training all season for this and finally the day has arrived. Are you ready to show your strength, power and endurance? Saddle up and get ready for the race of your life as you begin this journey to New Hope. Yeah, we know for the first 25 miles you’re held to a slower pace than your legs desire, but trust us it's for your own safety. Once you arrive at Johnson Park to replenish the water bottles, meet up with a few new faces, take some photos and sign a few autographs, the pace will get exceedingly fast and hot as you head south to the New Hope for lunch. Remember to save some in the engine for your return to Newark.
