Route starts on the NJ side of the GW Bridge.

This ride provides a relatively flat approach to the hills including Hogback, Arden Valley, and Perkins. There are two rest stops with restroom facilities including Colonial Deli on Saddle River. This route takes a minor bypass around Skyline Drive.

Metro North return from Garrison. Bike pass needed for train.
