Sandwich, MA to New York City
If I was doing the ride, I would follow the coast to where I could get a
ferry to Long Island. Then, follow the coast of Long Island to New York City. Not sure of the exact route but this is how I would do it. ================================================== === "Cycle America" wrote in message ...

Sandwich, MA to New York City
I have no opinion on how to get over to Providence, but from there, I can
tell you what I did in my 2004 ride: Notwithstanding that it's marked as an Interestate, I took the I-195 bridge into Providence. I saw no sign saying I couldn't. Anyway, I eventually picked up US 6 and took it into CT to 169, and 169 south to Norwich, then 82 to the CT River ferry; then154 south to 80 and 80 west to East Haven. These were all pretty bike riding good roads. I have no good advice after that. In New Haven, I worked my way south and got on US 1 and took it all the way to New Rochelle. That route is a penance with stop lights all the way and no small number of hills, but as urban riding goes, I felt safe enough. In New Rochelle, I picked up Pelham Rd, which eventually crosses Pelham Park in the Bronx. At its south terminus, I picked up a cross Bronx Parkway/Greenway, eventually passing the zoo and ending up on Fordham Rd. - a most interesting human zoo, great for people-watching but not for speed! That road eventually crossed into Manhattan, which is narrow there, and on crossing it, you have good bike paths and similar roads along the Hudson almost all the way to the bottom of the island.

I am using the Reubels bike mapos to plan a trip from Spfld ma to the
cape next year. I rode to NYC 2x and via backroads and rail trails. If you want my cue sheets please advise to my hotmail mailbox. If you decide to come through the Spfld area I can give some support via, shopping, bike shops and possibly camping in my backyard if nec.

THX so much everyone for your suggestions. And this last thought is
indeed the way we will go. It's what I did in '86 and I guess even back then I somehow chose what looks like the best option...... So now it's off to Long Island research. And since Port Jefferson to Manhattan is only 60 miles, I am going to see if I can get some of the bike clubs out there to serve as guides. THX 4 all of U!!
