The route starts at Grant's Tomb at 122nd St and Riverside. Then up Riverside Drive to the GWB, north along Hudson Terrace to East Palisades.  Then, we go west to North Woodland Street, but rather than turning right and going north, we turn left and head south on South Woodland Street. It goes down to Leonia and through Overpeck County Park where the Hackensack River becomes Overpeck Creek.

Circumnavigate Staten Island counterclockwise. Lots of consistent paced pedaling and not many intersections or lights; one of the flattest rides around. Short side trip midway thru historic Kreischerville (now “Charleston”), near Tottenville, and at Conference House.  All paved; short boardwalk path. Multiple bails via Staten Island subway line. Adequate services on second half of route returning to ferry; sparse on outbound.
