I'm pretty happy with Google Maps's bike route recommendations. They do use bike trails, which are very nice. A road with little or no shoulder is OK if traffic isn't too fast and heavy.
Try riding to Mendham, going through Jockey Hollow. Or go to Gillette. There are some really nice roads near you.
