uth Street Ferry, if you choose,
direct to Gloucester. Thence turning to the right at the end of the
Ferry Street, follow a direct road to Westville, which you enter just
after crossing the track. The road is macadamized, is very level, and in
pretty fair condition. From this point to Woodbury is direct by the same
macadamized road, the track being again crossed a little over half-way
to the latter place. The distance from Gloucester to Woodbury is about
four miles.

On leaving Woodbury, take the right fork at the break in the roads just
outside of the village and run direct to Berkley, which is to the
westward of you, passing through Clarksboro, where the end of the
macadam is readied and a gravel road begins. The road is not uncertain
anywhere along the route, but from Clarksboro to Swedesboro it is as
nearly straight as a road could well be. The railroad runs along on the
western side half a mile or more away, passing through Mickletown and
Wolferts. Just after crossing the road which runs into Wolferts station
you will come to a hill which is somewhat difficult, owing partly to the
condition of the roadbed and partly to the steepness of the hill itself.
It is best to keep on the main road, even if you dismount and walk over
the hill itself.

At Swedesboro a stop can be made for dinner or lunch at Ford's Hotel.
You have now ridden fifteen miles and covered about half the distance.
Leaving Ford's after a rest, keep to the left instead of crossing the
track, and run along close by the rails seven miles to Woodstown. A
number of roads come together as you enter, and to reach the centre of
the village itself you should keep to the left fork and run along into
the central square. If you do not mean to stop, keep to the right fork
after crossing the railroad, and run direct to Salem, ten miles away. A
rider can keep always to the left forks if he chooses on leaving
Woodstown until he has gone about two miles out, when he should turn to
the right at a fork and meet the main bicycle road five or six miles
from Woodstown. On the whole, it is better to keep to the straight
turnpike. The whole route to Salem is remarkably level as country roads
go, and while the bed is gravel beyond Clarksboro, it is nevertheless in
reasonably good condition all the way. At Salem the Nelson House is a
good place to stop for the night.
