43 miles
We had another wonderful meal this morning at the Chauncey Conference Center. (I don't think we are losing any weight on this tour!)
Great breakfast
Most everyone wanted to start riding around 7:30 am.
Sean and I first rode with John, Cindy, Marc, and Sharon. We ended up backtracking to the Greenway outside Princeton. Once we got to downtown Princeton Margaret and Gene caught up with us. John, Cindy, Sharon and Marc decided to stop in downtown. We pushed on with Gene and Margaret. We rode about 7 miles from the Conference Center in busy Princeton traffic before we could locate the towpath going north toward Iselin.
Everyone gathering outside the Chauncey Conf. Center ready to ride.
At first we missed the towpath once we crossed a bridge. After looking all around Margaret located it on the other side of the bridge. When we got on the path it was all dirt with some smooth areas but also some pretty rough ones too.

It took us longer than anticipated to ride on the path to New Brunswick. By then it was 12:30 pm and Gene, Sean, and I were getting hungry.
After New Brunswick we rode through heavy traffic. Several times Gene and I had to stop to make sure we were on the right course. I am glad I had my GPS handy to show the road names. I also asked some local people for directions.

We reached the Hilton Hotel in Iselin around 1:30pm. Blaine had a conference room on the 2nd floor for us to go for lunch. Then at 3 pm we got keys to our room.
Around dinner time many of the group went to a restaurant located inside the hotel.
The tow path looks beautiful!
