    Variation West-B1   For a pleasant trip along the river's edge:  continue Straight on Broadway, then bear right into Nyack Beach State Park.  Continue North immediately next to the Hudson River.  Turn around and return to main route.

        Continue North immediately next to the Hudson River, and keep on going as the road goes up into the woods and turns to dirt.
        Note: this path seems to get major damage from a big storm every few years, so some sections might not be ridable -- or safely passable by any means with a bike -- and sometimes it has been marked Closed.
