WELCOME TO THE NINTH ANNUAL FARMLAND RIDE!!!
In Memory of Mindy Engle Friedman, founder of the Farmland Ride
THIS YEAR - Don't miss our new 20-mile route! It packs the best of the Farmland experience
into a shorter loop, featuring short rolling hills that offer just the right amount of challenge for a rewarding morning ride.
The Farmland Ride is a scenic ride through the rolling hills and picturesque farmland of Hunterdon County. Choose from FOUR great routes -- 1) a rolling 20-mile route with some short moderate hills, good for the conditioned rider, elevation: 803'; 2) a 30-mile moderately challenging hilly route suitable for intermediate riders, elevation: 1,483'; 3) a 45-mile moderately challenging hillier route with steeper grades for the intermediate to experienced rider, elevation: 2,412'; or 4) a 62-mile Metric Century route. Bike more miles through the stunning Sourlands and explore the charm of historic Frenchtown and Hopewell. This is our most challenging and hilliest route with steeper grades for the more experienced rider, elevation: 3,819'. Travel through the most scenic farmlands that Hunterdon County has to offer on paved roads. The rides offer plenty of snacks and conclude with an awesome lunch prepared by our local restaurant, Covered Bridge Italian Market. *(LUNCH IS NOT GUARANTEED WITH

DETAILS
(SLIGHTLY) NEW COURSE FOR 2026!
Tour of High Bridge 2026 Course
Building on last year's course, thanks to some newly paved roads that weren't usable last year, we've added three turns and
about 50 meters of finishing straight which eliminates last year's high-speed final turn. This should make the descent and finish more technical, but safer, and, in our opinion, a lot more fun!.
START TIMES: Racing begins at 12:00 pm. All races to follow.
*Estimated start times: Novice Men – 12:00pm II Master 40+ – 12:30 pm II Cat ¾ -- 1:15 pm II Junior (9-18) – 2:00 pm II Women/Non-Binary (All Categories) -- 2:30 pm II Citizens/Family Fun Ride – 3:10 pm II The High Bridge Mile (Running) – 3:30 II Men Pro 1/2/3 – 4:00
