The SRT will have heavy bike traffic on most nice weekends. If you have the time and access to a car, drive up to Hunterdon County, NJ and ride there and in Warren County. Lots of great riding and plenty of hills. From the center of the city, Lambertville, Bull's Island and Frenchtown are with about a 1 hr. drive or less. I can give you a few cue sheets if you would like.
The Central Bucks Bike Club does some rides in those areas and on the PA side of the river. There is also a trail that runs from Trenton, NJ all the way to Frenchtown, NJ. It's not paved, but doable even on 23c tires, although you might prefer 25c or larger. There are places to eat in L'Ville, Stockton and Frenchtown. Bull's Island Recreation area, between Stockton and Frenchtown, has bathrooms and water, and you can take a dip in the river from the boat launch.
