Jersey Shore Ride...or

[Nyrides]

I'm feeling strong and healthy on the bike this year and
I've been daydreaming about another multi-day trip this
summer. A couple of you guys and girls got me pretty psyched
to do the Jersey shoreline, although I'm fully aware the
available routes don't really hug the shore that closely.

If I only have 2-3 days, can somebody suggest a route from a
northern point near a rail station (I live on Long Island)
to a southern point near a rail station (preferably Cape
May)? I don't want to kill myself, so I'd say 50-60 miles a
day is good. To make optimum use of the riding time and go
the furthest distance, I figured I would take the train back
to NY. Or should I take a train down to the southern end and
ride my way back?

Cape May trains aren't carrying passenger at this time.. NJT buses has
bicycle racks, maybe 100%. Atlantic City has NJT trains to Philly 30th
Street train station for connection to Trenton. Or you can change in
Lindenwold to the PATCO line to Camden, then use the River Line to Trenton
also. http://www.njtransit.com/ http://www.bikemap.com/transit/de.htm
