Hi backatcha from NJ.
I live in Monmouth and work in Middlesex.
During my first mountain biking career I used to ride from the Tinton Falls/Eatontown area to the beach in Long Branch, and back (yes I ride a mtb on the road, knobbies and all)... about 20 mile round trip. Lots of fun, and a great workout. But the roads and drivers are getting worse. You have to pick your routes carefully.
