Tour of Upper Manhattan Greenway and Hudson River Valley Greenway trail into NY state

Today felt like I wasn't in NYC at all! They have a great trail system that's separate from the car zones and often not visible from any roads as it follows the Hudson River and many other small rivers. I was on a rental hybrid bike without cleated pedals so this was a workout even though it was mostly flat. I met some other NY cyclists who gave me little tidbits of history along the way. The bike was a deal at $20 for the whole day. It pays to be in Upper Manhattan off-season as well as closer to the Bronx border which is a bit of a forgotten area. Also saw the Met Cloisters building but I didn't go in.
