From time to time I do the Palisades Interstate Park route that enters just south of the GW bridge and meanders its way all the way to the Park headquarters, and then continues. It's a beautiful ride (heck, even had a first date with an Italian beauty that consisted of doing that ride and then swinging back into NYC) but getting there is the biggest headache, really. I have tried going up Central Avenue and that's just as bad. At least with River Road you can sort of avoid some of the nonsense by riding along the waterfront, though that is also not super convenient due to its haphazard layout. In any case, that whole ride through the park, all the way up to Nyack, is positively beautiful and really, really nice. I should give it a go again. It's been a long while.

Yeah it's the getting to Fort Lee that is hard, but I've spent a lot of time refining my route. I focus on quieter one way streets so definitely not Central . It's actually a delightful route! Not a detailed screenshot, but gives you the idea. https://imgur.com/iw6AVpC.jpg

thanks for the map! I will go get my bikes out of storage, do some basic maintenance, and then venture out at some point during the Winter break.
