It could take you a little longer, but if you want to get off the road for a bit, the Delaware Water Gap Recreational Area is nice. The Old Mine Road is on the NJ side of the Delaware River and the (recommended by me) McDade Rec.Trail on the PA side will take you north from the little township of Delaware Water Gap on I-80 to Milford, PA on I-84, east of Scranton. PA Route 6 east can be accessed there and I think it is a designated bike route. I'm from VA, so you'd need more onto on that. The hgwy is not west-coast standards for shoulders, but it could work. I'll bet Bobby Montclair in NJ could verify. There are a lot of rail trails, etc. on the NJ side of the river, but most likely just a bit too far east for you?
