October 19-20, 2024 – Bike Camping!  Denville to Stephens State Park

Pack up your panniers, batten down your baskets, stuff your bikepacking™bags. Its time to look forward to camping at – Stephens State Park in Hackettstown. Meet at Denville clocktower, ready to roll at noon on a great 30 mile mixed terrain ride. A lot of gravel gliding on well maintained paths through Randolph, a REALLY nice chunk of West Morris Greenway rail trail, a quick stop at Quick Check then a nice bomb down valley, some steep scenic climbing up to Jersey Girl Brewing a couple miles from camp. Slow & steady, no drop ride. This event is free but bring a few dollars to help pay for the campsites. Excellent options for food in Hackettstown. No registrations, no insurance, no services are provided, self supported…just a group of friends! Parking a car overnight is tough near downtown Denville… Plan on riding to the start.  NJ Transit trains to Denville station are available. Heavy steady rain cancels. Let me know if you’re coming in the comments below or find my email in the contacts. Adventure Awaits!!!

Ride Recap: Awesome ride! Dogman, Thanks for organizing. Here are some of my pics.
