Franklin Township, NJ: George Washington (and his spy!) bike ride

nj gw ride

Join the East Coast Greenway for a rare opportunity to bike a traffic-free Canal Road in Franklin Township on Sunday, July 8 at 10 a.m!

This family-friendly bike ride will follow in the footsteps of George Washington...and his spy. It will go from Route 518 in Rocky Hill to the Griggstown Causeway on Canal Road. We’ll take a break there and then head back on the D&R Canal towpath for a 7-mile round-trip adventure.

What was George Washington doing here and who was his spy? You’ll have to join us to find out!

Meet at the D&R Canal parking lot on Kingston-Rocky Hill Road (Route 603) just south of Route 518 at 10 a.m.

Children must be accompanied by an adult. All riders must wear a helmet.

The ride is free, but you must register via Eventbrite.

Help us spread the word, and share the event on Facebook!
