Here is a route I mapped out. If anyone has any experience with any of these routes it would be greatly appreciated!

Are you coming in on I-80 to I-380 I assume? Looking to get the riding in in Jersey or in the Poconos? A few of the Pocono roads have disappearing shoulders and lanes (and lord knows I don't want to have a 'taking the lane' discussion)... and a few routes in the Poconos are currently closed for construction. Learned that the hard way coming back to Jersey from Scranton last weekend.

I edited the URL, should be good now. Have a look and let me know what you think. Thanks!

Looks good! End is pretty much the same as the one I sent you as well. That will be a little stop and start in East Stroudsburg but should be smooth sailing.... and it avoids Rte 314 near Pocono Manor, which is closed right now.

Since you know better than I do, your route or mine?

I drove from Mt. Pocono to Greentown today (both cities are on your map) and I live in the Poconos (if you see Masthope and Tusten to the right edge of the map, right there). Plenty of great riding near me, since it's the edge of the known universe.

The road from Mt. Pocono to Greentown didn't have a lot of traffic. I believe the speed limit is 40 for most of it. However, there isn't a shoulder for cycling. I think this is true for just about any road I can think of in the area.

Gouldsboro to Moscow should be pretty good for riding, in terms of car traffic. After that, you'll start to see more traffic as you get near Scranton-burg.

I think your best riding near where you'll be would be Marshall's Creek to north to Bushkill. That's a parkland area. No shoulder but the park police keep everyone to the posted speed limit (40...I have a ticket from there that "learned me."). You can basically ride from Marshall's Creek to Milford on that road. Also near Marshall's Creek is Shawnee Mountain, which has a very low travelled road near it that runs along the Delaware River (that road may have been used for one of the Ironman races during one of its iterations).

So, certainly be aware of traffic as they won't be aware of you and enjoy the ride!
