Same canal. Fewer crowds. Better price.

The 5T Tour is the same 88-mile guided ride along the D&R Canal towpath — same towns, same accommodation quality, same lead rider support — just Tuesday to Thursday instead of Friday to Sunday. If your schedule has any flexibility at all, midweek is the smarter way to ride this route.

T

Tuesday

Depart Penn Station Tuesday morning — the train is quieter, the trailhead parking is empty, and the towpath is all yours.

T

Thursday

Home by Thursday evening. The weekend is still yours — recovered, rested, and with a great story to tell.

T

Towpath

88 miles of flat, traffic-free crushed limestone along the historic D&R Canal — the same trail, but on a Tuesday it belongs to you.

T

Towns

Frenchtown, Lambertville, Princeton — midweek they're relaxed, unhurried, and ready to actually seat you at the best restaurant in town.

T

Time to Yourself

No weekend crowds on the trail. No Saturday reservation wait. More rooms available at better properties. The whole experience just breathes differently midweek.

Four reasons to ride Tuesday–Thursday

🚴

Less traffic on the trail

The D&R Canal towpath on a Tuesday looks nothing like a Saturday. You'll share it with the occasional dog walker, not a parade of weekend cyclists. The trail is yours.

🍽️

Easier dinner reservations

The best restaurants in Lambertville, Frenchtown, and Princeton fill up fast on weekends. Midweek, you walk in. Same kitchens, same menus, half the wait.

🏡

Better accommodation availability

Airbnb and B&B inventory opens up significantly Tuesday through Thursday. Better properties, better locations, more options at every budget level.

💰

Lower price, same experience

$100 off double occupancy. $125 off single. Same route, same mileage, same cue sheets, same lead rider, same Smart Pedaler access. Only the day of the week changes.

Midweek Rates

Double Occupancy
$1,000

Shared room with one other rider of same gender. Same Airbnb-style accommodation, same quality — midweek rates.
