I really like how this unites not only the various nations of New Jersey, but also 3 distinct parts of PA (I think it comes close enough to the Lehigh Valley to count), Hudson Valley, and NYC.
There's a great hill near Saugerties, NY called the Devil's Kitchen which climbs for 2.3 miles at an average grade of 10% (max 22%) up the side of a ravine. In the 1989 Tour de Trump many riders didn't have low enough gears and there was mud on the road, so they had to walk part of it.

“The Maggie Pep” is why I subscribe. Love this.
But also just bring back Tour of California and Utah along with the Jersey Shore/Pogacar crossover. I’m all in.
