Trains from NYC Penn Station run hourly, riding time 90 minutes each way. 2 bikes can be carried on either end of the double decker train cars, flipping seats up. You can secure your bikes with thin rope, sitting on seats across the aisle.

Delaware Canal towpath in PA to New Hope, back on Delaware Raritan Canal towpath in NJ. Gravel surfaces great for hybrids and mtn bikes, suitable for road bikes, but I think you would want to have at least 20 mm tires.

Extension of Trenton/New Hope-Lambertville/Trenton route. Ridden hard, this is a very good workout for all levels as gravel surfaces offer resistance, and there are few interuptions. Winds can blow up and down the river valley. In fair weather winds tend to be on your tail on the return.

This is a gorgeous ride from central New Jersey to the NJ Coast along scenic lesser travelled roads.  The ride starts at the Princeton Junction New Jersey Transit Station.  From there you head east through central New Jersey towns like Cranbury and  Englishtown, and tour lots of quiet and scenic farm country before hitting the famous Jersey Shore.

On this ride we ride through many Queens and Brooklyn neighborhoods to explore the nether reaches of Queens to Laurelton which borders Nassau County. 

For those who are interested, the paper cue sheet lists all the different neighborhoods we ride through.  And for those who use turn by turn audio directions on your iphone, the audio will recite the neighborhood in addition to the turn instructions.
