It is true that Rt 9 is a better quality road and as nice to look at than the Palisades Interstate Pkwy (PIP), but not if you are in a rush as Rt 9 is heavily patrolled and at a speed limit of 45 seems absurd most of the time since it is a smooth, wide road. We locals ride these routes every nice weekend especially in autumn, but so do tons of bicyclists so lane/side splitting is limited on weekends. Great fall viewing all the way and great recommendations. Make sure you park up on top of Bear Mtn and hang with all the other bikers for a bit-

I was a passenger behind my Dad during a Suicide Prevention Poker run yesterday and we took this route. It was the most beautiful ride that I have ever taken. Kudos to East Side Bar & Grill for choosing the route.

I live in the area so I am quite familiar with the roads here. Seems like a great route! Would definitely be gorgeous in the fall. If i had to make a suggestion, i would skip the bear mountain bridge and keep heading north on 9D. After crossing the bride at 84 i would come right back down on 9D. The scenery is incredible all the way down and is a much more stimulating ride than 87 would be. my 2 cents! i will try this out soon.

My wife, son, and myself took a similar route. Starting in North Jersey we take Rt 17 to Rt 6 into Harriman. Turn off onto RT 293 north. Turn onto 9W to Newburg Bridge, cross and head south on 9D to Bear Mtn Bridge. Cross that that and take 9w south back into NJ and home. On weekend mornings its a beautiful ride and scenery is nice in the fall. View is great on 9W north at top of Storm King Mtn.

Stick to 9w all the way up instead of the palisades. Palisades is a horrible road and 9w will keep you along the river.
Should take a diversion up to perkins as well.

Clicking on Seven Lakes drive and perkins memorial drive gives way point errors. Can you still get to perkins?

Great ride.I modified it to include more riding in a park and less interstate by taking the Palisades up to 87/287 to7 Mile Road > Bear Mountain.

A very long trip for me, especially that I had to first go from Queens NY to starting point in Fort Lee NJ to follow the route. First part over NJ Rt 4 and Rt 17 N is quite boring, lots of traffic and trucks. The real fun starts after you start going south from Newburgh NY, really enjoyable mountain roads, twisties, breathtaking views! Especially areas around Westpoint NY in Rt 9W are really beautiful and then following the route (more or less, I got lost a few times due to horrible GPS directions from Osmand regarding this downloaded route) the "70 mile Hudson River Bridge Tour" route and ends in Tarrytown NY
