This route uses rail trails, bikeways and dirt roads to create a unique route that is almost entirely off-road.

The roads thru Stewart State Forest are unpaved but easily ridden with 28c or wider tires but for comfort and control, wider is always better. The Wallkill Rail Trail is unpaved but similarly navigable. The remaining rail trails are paved.
