Hope. Shades of Death. Tranquility.

Some of the names you’ll encounter on the Allamuchy Allegory Ride. This route passes through 42 miles of scenic back roads in Sussex and Warren counties. The State of New Jersey Department of Transportation has an excellent web page with descriptive maps in downloadable brochures.

I just rode 24 of the 30 mile northern loop of this ride. Having cycled thousands of miles over the roads on this route, I can honestly say they are amazingly beautiful.

This route is traveled by individuals, cruiser club and pace line riders from all over the area. The rolling hills are a backdrop for roads that serpentine through historic towns, farmland and pass through Jenny Jump State Forrest.

At the top of the ride, Kittatinny Valley State Park provides an excellent starting point. This park is a destination for mountain bikers, hikers and horseback riders. Rock-N-Root Cycle is located along the route 206 portion of the route if you need any bike service.
