Just double checked and the Columbia Trail in NJ runs from High Bridge in Hunterdon for 15miles into to Morris County and could pick it up from the Raritan Valley train line it seems. I only rode it once several years ago but found the scenery really enjoyable and expect it’d be even more

D canal path is local for me in central NJ and you could really make the route as long or short as you like. It parallels route 1 and the Northeast Corridor of NJ Transit. I haven’t yet tried this myself but have wanted to take the train up the the Brunswick area then ride the trail back home

I don't see a problem, I ran one with a 42t ring in the middle position of a triple which is where her 39 would be on a double. But test carefully, the spindle length is going to tell the story. I would get the BB on there right, then very slowly slide the driveside crank on and see if it's
