How about Skillman/Hopewell NJ? Lots of rural areas but close to Lambertville, New Hope PA, and Princeton - all towns with lots of galleries and food. Hunterdon County just north has lots of gravel (Hell of Hunterdon is one such ride). Plus the Delaware & Raritan Canal is 77 miles of flat riding along the river going to New Brunswick and Princeton (many parts you can ride on either the NJ or PA side).
