If a group was doing a decent 200km ride with A Garmin. 810; is there any other towns or places worthy of riding to near Bear Mountain? The location would be plugged in to the Garmin so would be looking for cycling friendly roads.

or is there any towns other than Nyack and Piermont worth riding through back towards Manhattan from Bear Mountain?

Thanks in advance!
