Taking 9W to Nyack is a great ride. Some nice rolling hills. You should include River Road in your route. Basically, instead of turning right after crossing the GW Bridge, go left, down the hill and take the first left you can. Eventually you'll climb back out and be back on 9W and you can make your way on to Nyack. Stop at
Bunbury's coffee shop in Piermont to mingle with some of the regional cyclists. On the way back, you should check out
Strictly Bike Shop. A lot of riders make a pit stop there to meet up or buy some fuel/gear. They have a coffee shop in the bike store - and some really nice gear! It's very close to the George Washington Bridge and you'll pass it on your way in if don't do River Road or on your way out if you do River Road.
