From Hoboken, we take the ferry to Midtrown, ride down the path along the Hudson to Warren St. then cut through City Hall onto the Brooklyn Bridge bike/ped path and make our way to the Nu Hotel on Smith Street.
The ride is an organized event that takes place every year on the Sunday before Labor Day. A change of clothes is brought up for you. You shower at the hotel then go out to dinner. Charter busses and a truck bring you and you bike back to where you started. If you did this route during the week you would be squashed to death by truck traffic through the port area.
I have a few other loop routes that start/end across the river in Hunterdon County, NJ. This is my favorite:

Belvidere is a cool town with lots of renovated Victorian houses and a big town square park. Almost all of the route is great. Except for getting through Phillipsburg, the trip down the river is particularly splendid. Saw a bear one year at about mile 19.5.
