5-Hour Green Rural Loop from Manhattan - By berkleebass923

First ride actually following a route presented here and it was great. I started at Kensico Dam because the end of that road easily linked up to this route. This website says route 22 north is nice (and it was). Then I continued onto 172. In Bedford, I made a right on 121 and continued to 25, following the directions here. The road itself was enjoyable and there really isn’t much traffic to contend with on the way up. That said, I did get stuck behind some cars on some particularly nice roads. I live in Long Island City and the whole thing did take me about 5 hours, but admittedly I did lose a lot of time getting lost finishing with 22 north. (I’ll need to plan this out with more care next time.)
