I'll be staying in Hell's Kitchen. Probably can't go on very long rides most days cuz my sister is flying in from Chicago and will give me a hard time if I spend the whole day riding. But she goes back 2 days before me and will spend a day or two with old friends.
If staying in Hells Kitchen then you might just want to go up the greenway and ride over the GWB and ride up what is known as river road (listed as Henry Hudson Drive on the maps). About 8 miles of mostly flat to the GWB, followed by 8 miles of rolling hills ending with about a 3/4 mile 400 foot climb up the Alpine Approach Rd. You could then return to the GWB via 9W (feels like downhill most of the way) or go back on River Road and do the same hills in reverse. You'd total around 34 to 36 miles
