I am going to NYC on business for a week or two. I will taking my bike and was wondering if there are any decent trails reachable from the city within a 30 min drive. Thanks in advance.
I would like to hear it as well. Keep in mind, a 30 minute drive could be 10 blocks.
Frankly, I would take a road bike (or set up for road) and prepare for laps around Central Park. While I am a little bored of it, it is probably the greatest metropolis road loop in the world.

If you play your cards right, and be mindful of traffic patterns, you can be at Sprain Ridge in 30 min or so. If you give yourself 45 min you can add Ghrams Hills to the list. Check www.wmba.com for more details.
If you bring the road bike, take the greenbelt loop around the whole island of manhattan. You get to see about 50 different facets of the gritty diamond that is NYC.
You could always hop on the Metro North and check out trails in Peekskill and Mount Beacon. By car, you could be upstate (where I live and Stosh lives) at Stewart in 1.5 hours depending on traffic. You could also check out Fahnstock state park.
