This is a 3-day self-contained tour, staying at a motel in Monroe and doing a loop ride on Day 2 to the Storm King Arts Center. The cycling is lovely, with the exception of one unavoidable busy stretch on Day 1, and the cultural expedition is fun & enlightening. Storm King Arts Center is a 500 acre outdoor museum featuring sculptures and landscape art. https://stormking.org/ There's a cafe on the grounds for lunch and a rack to lock the bikes.

Note of December 2022: The Hudson River Greenway north of 181st St to Dyckman St is closed due to reconstruction; it needs it! Recommended re-route is 182nd St overpass> 181st St> Cabrini north> 190th St> Overlook Terrace> 187th St>Broadway, north> Bennett Av>. You will be doing the first half of the descent from Ft Washington Ave on Overlook to 187th to Broadway going north, then taking a left onto Bennett. You will now be back on the route. I did not update the GPS file or the cue sheet.
