The problem is that other than rt 80 and rt 23 there aren't really any roads that cut straight through west on the line you want to go. Here are a couple of rough routes I would consider, one that swings north and one that swings south. I am less familiar with the roads as you go farther west but I have done a fair amount of riding all over northern and west northern jersey.
Good luck.
