About this event

LoST going to Toms River

- a Smart-guided Bikeway Tour - Go Long / Go Short


You can do it all, or do half. End to end a beautiful bikeway adventure on Barnegat Branch Trail leading to scenic historical Toms River.


The Barnegat Branch Trail is truly a diamond in the rough - and I wouldn't change a thing about it. I love hard-paved trails. Equally, I love crushed stone, gravel, dirt, and grass trails. Barnegat Branch Trail has them all through miles of wooded sandy evergreen scenery. Although I am currently touring on a fat-tire mountain bike, I would take any of my bikes on this trail, including my road and parade bikes.


This picturesque LoST (Long or Short Tour) adventure travels most of the Barnegat Trail. You can go long or short - great for a group of mixed-ability cyclists! Most of the route is rail-to-trail, somewhat rural, with optional starting spots for a flexible total length.


The tour includes a stop at historic Huddy Park, a scenic spot on Toms River. Seasonal festivals at the park and numerous community events make this a happening place to be in Toms River. Also included in the tour is a tasty, dog-friendly refreshment spot (details with tour ticket).


Your choice - ride 18 or 37 miles. This is a CycleNuts LoST, an acronym for Long or Short Tour. These are CycleNuts Group Ride favorites because there are two lengths, which allows long and short-distance riders to tour together to the same turnaround spot.


GO LONG OR GO SHORT!

2 starting spots - 2 tour lengths - and a CycleNuts-tasted and approved refreshment stop! Rider's choice! 18 or 37 roundtrip miles on beautiful wooded rail-to-trail bikeways. Both routes are shaded about half of the way, are 83% bikeway, and have little use for your bike's climbing gears.


How a LoST works. The 18-mile and 37-mile routes start at different locations and times; travel the same bikeways; allow both groups (long and short - in case your crew is riding along with you) to stop at the same tasty spot; and turn around at the same point.

CycleNuts Group Rides on Meetup

are an alternative cycle touring experience where seeing and socializing take emphasis over speed and (ugh!) sweat. Join along on bikeway touring adventures to destinations near and far as we strive for the

  • Goal: to create bikeway touring opportunities for cyclists of all types to enjoy together
  • Mission: to encourage casual cyclists and cyclists interested in casual cycling to tour together
  • Vision: a united cycling community that tours together on bikeway adventures for the holistic benefit of all

What to expect - Casual social cycle touring where exercise is optional, everybody finishes together, and nobody is dropped, abandoned, or left to fend for their self (unless they wish to be). Expect a slow pace under 11 mph average with CycleNuts’ 50% downhill guarantee. Sweating is optional. Pictures, merriment, and other tourist activities heartily encouraged. Allow ample time for the nature of CycleNuts tours including

  • Trail-side breaks
  • Eating and drinking
  • Picture taking and posing
  • Pacing with the slowest riders
  • Looking at cool stuff along the way
  • And other sorts of tourist activities – as well as unforeseen detours, breakdowns, and delays of various sorts.

Helmets are not mandatory - cycleNuts tours give preference to bikeways - bicycle trails and protected bicycle lanes. Routes may include dedicated bicycle lanes on streets, bicycle ‘friendly’ streets, and of necessity, regular streets, parking lots, sidewalks, and unpaved trails. Darkness may be experienced on evening or early morning rides. Lights in good working order at all times on CycleNuts tours are a great idea – to be seen and to see!

SAG-free - CycleNuts tours, including travel and over-night accommodations, are self-supported with the slightest of guidance. SAG is not provided. Carpools and caravans are individual choices. Emergency road support – if necessary – may be a creative, collective group effort or you may need to fend for yourself. Be prepared with options.

Recommended Gear - A cycle (uni, bi, tri, tandem, E, recumbent, or cycle/trailer rig). Protective gear of your choice. ID. Front and rear lighting. Communication device. Spare tube. Patch kit. Air pump. Wrench kit. Cycle lock. Water. Energy bar. Funds for refreshment breaks and emergencies. Sun screen. Pest repellent.

Recommended Preparation – Pre-check (before you load that bike for transport to the starting spot) brakes, tire pressure, lights, and rideability. Consider what you are wearing on tour and what you may need for changing weather conditions.

Yes – CycleNuts will offer cycling events in all four seasons – what else could be expected from CycleNuts?
