Take a lovely suburban route to Historic New Bridge Landing on the Hackensack River. This site passed back & forth through British and American hands during the Revolutionary War and now contains the Steuben House, the Campbell-Christie House and other historic buildings. After touring the site and reading the historical markers, continue on to lunch at the River Edge Diner - a classic New Jersey diner and bakery. Cycle home on side roads, climbing Walnut to return to the GW Bridge. Mapped route starts & ends at Grant's Tomb.

This route does not end in New Brunswick; it ends in Raritan, NJ -- Driving to New Brunswick is not feasible because it is not an out and back. You must take NJ Transit:  Train Schedules | NJ TRANSIT | New Jersey Transit Corporation | New Jersey

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.
