does anyone have a good route to ride from philly to any jersey shore points? the first ones that come to mind are atlantic city or ocean city, but i'm open to others as well. i'm thinking something that preferably wouldn't have cars zipping by at 50+ mph, but isn't a really windy back roads tour with lots of potential for missed turns.

i've ridden the MS150 twice before, but that route is pretty twisty and i think it could be confusing without the markings and supportedness of the ride. that and i have no ideas what roads it took.

sooo... suggestions?
i'm sure this has been done many times before, but maybe you have a secret awesome route to offer?

I use to ride to my folks house in Neptune City, NJ alot. That is a nice 75 mile ride. It is located near Asbury Park, NJ... If you want that route hit me up...

Last summer, I rode solo to OC a bunch of times. Door to Door for me(Upper Darby to there) is just under 70 miles. Once you get out of Camden and the Patco towns, most of the roads have big shoulders and are relatively smooth.
