RideLoop
The Hopewell Valley is central New Jersey's favorite road riding: open farmland, small towns and the Sourland Mountain to the north for anyone who wants to climb.
It's popular with drivers too, on the county routes between Princeton, Pennington and Lambertville. The loop below keeps to the smaller roads between them.
The loop
Built by RideLoop from each town, the same way it builds yours. Every press of Build in the app makes a new one.
Hopewell Valley
Stony Brook, Van Dyke, Spring Hill and Cherry Valley Roads: rolling farmland around Hopewell, on roads that see far fewer cars than the routes between the towns.
- No state highways
- No 50 mph roads
- No four-lane roads

Questions
When do the leaves peak around Hopewell?
Usually late October into early November.
Is RideLoop free?
Yes, to start. Bronze is free: 2 loops a month, sent to Garmin Connect, plus GPX downloads for any device. Silver is $9.99 a month for 30 loops a month, sent straight to your Garmin in one tap. Gold is $14.99 a month at the launch price, with unlimited loops and every feature.
Which roads does RideLoop leave out?
Roads with a speed limit of 50 mph or more, roads with four or more lanes, and roads mapped as highways. County roads with no shoulder count as four times their length, so loops use them only where there is no quiet way around. Roads other riders graded rough are left out too.
Are these the only loops?
No. The loops on this page are samples RideLoop built from each town. In the app you get a new loop every time you press Build, from wherever you start.
