Level D, 10 mph, 62 miles. SEPTA Yardley Train Station. The ride leaves at 8:45 am. Let's go reconnoitering. I have cycled from Trenton, NJ to Frenchtown, NJ on the Delaware and Raritan Canal but never over the portion from Trenton to the Rariton River at New Brunswich, NJ. The history of this canal was to transport coal on barges drawn by mules down the impassible Delaware River to Trenton and then over to the Raritan River and on to the Port of New York. The tow path has been preserved as a recreational path. For those in CC Philly, take the SEPTA West Trenton train # 4308, 7:30 am, 30th Street Station. Cue sheets will not be available.
