This is a nice route to use during the COVID shutdown. It's not too busy on the weekends, so if you don't want to go over the GW Bridge you can still get in a pleasant ride. It takes a short route thru the Bronx that isn't totally urban. Then it eventually takes you onto the South County Trailway - the good section that's not bumpy. There are several pit stops, but no lunch stop. Bring decent snack food. On the way home you can stop at Lloyd's Carrot Cake for a sweet treat.

Great for an early evening ride to catch the sunset and the twinkling lights of Manhattan, this route crosses no fewer than 15 city bridges over its 25 miles.  Please note that park bathrooms listed may close after dusk, and there are several places where you have to carry your bike up and down stairs.
