The Social Distancing in Isolation Contest & Never-ending Peter Pan Positivity Parlay

Blackpoint Rd in to NS, but I don't know, haven't checked it)

This is open - https://www.strava.com/activities/2881813000
The trail from 3 Bridges is the start of the somerset county east-west greenway. It will connect to Duke Farms when done (railroad ln)
Then to the D&R towpath.

As a longer alternate than going bushwacking Miller ln off amwell - which i haven't done yet. but have been eyeballing!
(It is owned by Somerset County, but the home off of it is a private residence.)

From neshanic parking lot on Elm St, go over the white bridge, follow mill lane.
Pick up the old rail bed again here - https://goo.gl/maps/JynqqwQzyrWjsPMk8 - rail bed is private property - county is trying to buy it.
(if you want to avoid that, ride the active rail bed - there is a service road - jump on that here - https://goo.gl/maps/9XgWFzzX4UcyeLDt6)

Hop off here - https://goo.gl/maps/N7s26Nv3QZWUu11h6k8

this is the old siding to go into the back for the belle mead depot.
it can be hard to find - alternately, there are trails back there which can be found here - https://www.strava.com/activities/103514811

You'll work your way to here - https://goo.gl/maps/mNy7wZR2jfmRYHw58

This pipeline cut has some wet spots - you'll end up in the field across from the east mountain lot.
There is some sort of gas head/junction there - service road comes up the pipeline,
sometimes the field side is mowed across from the driveway to the lot.

Planned on round valley today on the mtb but all this stinkin rain I bagged it. Yeah I know it drains well but with no sun I wasn't interested in riding wet rocks. Road to Stockton and back instead. Noticed a trailhead, bikes allowed, will have to further investigate:

on the way home, an osprey flew directly overhead. The plane, not the bird. First time I've seen one outside of air shows - they look weird flying with those huge props

i bet if you ask nicely, someone will give you regular pedals that match...rather than buying another pair of shoes.
of course more shoes is a good thing too! cause new shoes day. or the Look carbon pedals....still cheaper than shoes.
