Default Take it easy on Clinton Road

Almost bought "The Farm" with my wife following me on Clinton Road on Sunday. Just watch out for sand on some of the turns. My bike got a little too loose for my liking. I have to control myself on that road and tell myself not to rip through it.

I live up the street from Clinton Rd off of Warwick Tpke. It's not just the sand you need to watch but also your speed on those turns and the furry animals who tend to hang out on the road too!

It is also famous for tons of wrecks too, just be careful!

Hey Tip! Thanks for the heads up. There are some pretty tight board scaping turns on that road. Funny you mention furry animals. I was hoping a bear or deer wouldn't leap out of nowhere coming around one of those turns.

No problem. We do have a problem with tons of deer and bear in that area, just got to be alert. I see kids fly up and down the road constantly and it's just a matter of time before someone loses it on those twisties!

It's a beautiful road with tons of history both in historic and as featured in Weird NJ too.

I live near it and ride through there all the time to catch Warwick tpk. I usually take it easy and enjoy the scenery. Thanks for the heads up

There are a lot of marks on the guard rails along that road. The deer are starting to get active up there to
