If you want shorter, consider driving to Piermont or Nyack and starting there or riding up the mountain and across the river to the Metro North station in whatever the heck that town is.
I'm assuming you guys went up the West Side of Hudson. Any crappy (or dangerous) sections of the road (above Nyack)??? Also, did you take the 9W or the "Old Route 9W" around the Dunderberg (near Bear Mountain)??? Is the old one rideable (I read on Roberts site that it is dirt suitable to MTBs). Thanks.
PS: Just checked out the route in Google Earth, looks very enticing...
