Start in Easton, PA and take 611 north along the river for a while. It will stray away from the river for a little while but just make sure you stay on 611 north (watch the signs).

Turn left onto 715 South. At the end of 715 and turn right onto rte. 209. 209 is a run through the rural landscape, your heading towards Jim Thorpe, PA. Follow 209 south into Jim Thorpe, PA. This ride culminates when you have lunch at Roadies in Jim Thorpe (325 Maury Road, Jim Thorpe, PA 18229) and enjoy the views. Now you can take the highway home or reverse the route. (about 3 hrs to travel this trip).

Scenery

Rivers, Mountains, Old towns. Very nice! Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, Jim Thorpe is an awesome town known as the Switzerland of PA and the view from Roadies Restaurant (see below) is fantastic.

Road Quality

Mostly very good, a few obligatory rough spots but very minor. New pavement for several miles on 611. 715 turns into a great road full of twisty's on a nicely paved surface, a real blast.

Roadside Amenities

The Riverside Bar and Grille in Easton, PA is a good bike stop on weekends. Plenty of gas stop/pit stop options after Stroudsburg. Tannersville is worth a stop if you want to do some shopping. It's the outlet Mecca of the Pocono's. Roadies Restaurant has good food and a great view! Watch for deer...and bears...and ground hogs...and rabid shoppers!

Comment: This was a nice ride overall. The views along the Deleware river are beautiful and the view from Roadies is amazing. Some of the roads are a bit rough around Stroudsburg. Other than that, I was very happy with this ride. I would definitely like to do it again, perhaps as the leaves are changing. Also, make sure you get directions to Roadies if you wish to go, since it is not right off of 209. You have to go out of town on 903 to get to Maury Rd. It is totally worth the extra few miles though.
