The RT Washingtons's Crossing to Millerton, up one side, back the other is 52 miles.
You can also head over to the Delaware - Raritan Canal Trail, starts in Trenton and heads 38 miles to New Brunswick. That's a nice ride as well.
Any sense on, er, "urban safety" in doing the feeder canal section northwest from the train station in Trenton? I've heard a number of people expressing concerns about the last stretch of the main canal (coming down from Princeton) into Trenton - including the friend I've recently ridden parts further east with - yet others saying just go in daylight and ride through.
