Northeast - Where do you ride? - Cherry Hill, NJ

I just moved here from Dallas, and been looking for a place where to ride. I mainly rode on a bike trail around a lake back in TX, so I'm a bit worried to start riding on the road here in NJ.. Can anyone suggest a safe bike trail or a route in this area? Also, I'm interested in beginner group rides.

welcome!
good to see someone post who is from southern nj. check out riding groups like the south jersey wheelmen (based in vineland/mulica hill), action wheels (woodbury), beacon cycling (newfield), and the outdoor club of southern nj (?). also, there is peddlars shop (deptford) who holds some road rides that may be in your area! these are both road and trail groups with various levels of intensity.
there is a trail that starts (or finishes) in williamstown nj. there are plans (don't know if completed) to go to glassboro (parallel to rt 322).
do you ride a road, dirt, or hybrid bike?

thanks for the good tips. i ride both road and mtb.

Hey man, I'm from Dallas, too. Euless, actually. How do you like Planet New Jersey? I live in Mount Laurel right off 38 and Larchmont. I know alot of good roads here. The pdf files I attached are where I usually go, alot of country believe it or not. Let me know if you want to ride. Tri County is the local group, I haven't ridden with them yet.

The bike path from Wiliamstown to Glassboro is finished. There is another bike trail outside of Camden and goes to Haddonfield.

Enjoy NJ, I've heard from people who have traveled the states and have said that Jersey is the best.

D., if you are Dustin, your site is fantastic. Thank you, thank you. I rely on it to plan rides I lead for my local clubs, and I tell every cyclist I meet around here about it. You've provided a wonderful resource.

It's I. ? Thanks for spreading the word about the web page. I hope it grows more. I you have any ideas for the map or corrections, let me know.
