To elaborate on what zacster says, the transverse road entrances are:
Along Central Park West:
65 St
81 St
86 St
96 St
Along 5th Ave:
97 St
85 St
79 St
66 St
All other entrances lead to the loop, including the Sixth Ave entrance along Central Park South and the one at Columbus Circle.
TheRedWolf, when will you be taking a ride? Maybe some of us can take you around on a nice custom-made bike tour. I love touring visitors around town, especially on bike.
