We'll stay on roads for much of this loop. We start in Glenside which provides ample parking and access by train. It takes a while to get out of the suburbs, but our first stop is @poi[Tabora's, a farm market, bakery and orchard](1737658) rolled up into one. 
We @slice[follow the ridge](d,38483.81,54675.42) and then fly down a @slice[scenic, but rapid, descent](d,54746.01,56049.68) to the Delaware River. The crossing to @poi[Bull's Island](1737660) on a pedestrian bridge gives us @photo[lovely views](1428744) of the river. A gentle descent on the broad shoulders of Route 29 takes us to the quaint town of Stockton.  I recommend switching over to the cinder @photo[canal towpath](1428743) for the leg into Lambertville. Enjoy the cafes in Lambertville or cross over into New Hope for more options. Don't forget to enjoy @photo[the vista](1428741)s on both river crossings. 
After New Hope we pass through some lovely @photo[rural](1428736) @photo[countryside](1428738), gradually re-entering the suburbs and arriving back in Glenside.

# Route

* Weekend parking is ample at the Glenside train station. For weekday trips, there are municipal lots and on-street metered parking. [Regional rail](http://www.septa.org/policy/bike.html) accommodates cyclists on off-peak hours.
* Just by @poi[Tabora's](1737658) is the lovely Peace Valley Park with Lake Galena. There are picnic areas, sail boat and canoe rentals. 
* @poi[Bull's Island](1737660) has bathrooms, water and picnic sites. 
* New Hope gets the fame, but Lambertville has just as many shops and cafes. If you didn't overeat at Tabora's here's a second and third chance. You can spend all day in either town. 
* The descent to the river demands payback on the way out of town. Expect a @slice[gradual climb](d,72121.69,77705.57) along low-traffic back roads. 
* Don't be surprised as you leave New Hope if you encounter a @photo[picturesque old-fashioned train](1428739). The [New Hope-Ivyland Railroad](https://www.newhoperailroad.com/) offers a taste of a bygone era.
* There's something very peaceful about the combination of forest and field in this section of Bucks county. You have miles and miles of quiet country roads to enjoy before re-entering the suburbs.

# Notes

* The @photo[vistas](1428737) of the Delaware River are worth visiting in every season. 
* Bring plenty of water. You'll spend long stretches on back country roads. Don't expect convenience stores or gas stations.
* This is a moderately taxing ride with the climb up to and back out of the river valley. Be prepared. 
* As for stops, Tabora's, at mile 24,  has everything you need. Bull's Island has @poi[bathrooms](1737660) and water.  Lambertville and New Hope are a well-stocked oasis. Once you leave them, however, there will be long stretches with homes, but no businesses. 
* There are occasional parks with bathroom facilities. Check the map for locations.
