Following the East Coast Greenway to Philadelphia, we'll ride for nearly half the route on trails and paths separated from traffic. After departing Jersey City’s Liberty State Park and passing through Staten Island via on-road routes and the Bayonne and Goethals bridges, NYC-to-PHL Greenway Ride participants ried through scenic parks in New Jersey’s Union and Middlesex counties, as well as unpaved trails such as the D&R Canal Towpath. On-road sections include a mix of suburban, urban and commercial corridors. Cyclists will be supported by escorts in busier sections, police vehicles at major intersections and SAG services.

The D&R Canal Trail’s natural, crushed stone surface is more comfortable with wider tires; road bikes can handle the trail but the going will be a bit slower than on pavement.

The overnight stop will be in Princeton, N.J., with camping and hotel options near the campus of Princeton University and the shops and restaurants along downtown's charming Nassau Street. 

Day two features more riding on the D&R Canal Trail before crossing into Pennsylvania, which features the D&L Trail, on-road segments, and time on Philadelphia's Delaware River Trail and iconic Schuylkill Banks before finishing in center city Philadelphia.

Ahead of the ride, you are welcome to explore the 2022 route virtually via Ride with GPS. These routes will be available soon. Both on-road and trail route options are available. The on-road routing simply limits the mileage of natural-surface trails, but does include all paved segments included on the trail route.
