Nice choices along the way.
1. Like what the other gentleman said-High Mountain. 10 minutes from Fairlawn. I work from home a couple of days a week in case you need an after work tour, just send me a PM. Wyckoff Cycle does a group ride either Tuesday or Wednesday
2. If you take the parkway home, there is Mills in Montclair.
3. If you take route 287 then you can hit The Tourne in Boonton. I think Cycle Craft does a group ride on Tuesday nights.
4. Also off of 287 is Lewis Morris. I think Marty’s does a Wednesday night ride.
5. From Fairlawn up Route 208 to 287 South to Skyline Drive, go to he top of Skyline Drive, Ramapo, pretty intense tech.
5. If you feel like taking it easy, there is always the Saddle River bike path that runs past Fairlawn. The park service plows it even during a blizzard

Only ridden from the top of Skyline Drive. Do you mean the access down below by 287?

Yes, but no longer from the soccer field on Barbara Dr. Pool Hollow Rd leads to Yellow south of 287 and has a few parking spots. If you are in large groups, park at the boat launch 1/2 mile north of Pool Hollow on West Oakland Ave.

My bike and I are getting into better shape and will see when I can make that happen.
As to the OP, go with High Mountain and go with someone that knows the trails from the deer run. I believe members of the OOS know it well.

I highly encourage you to really think about whether your quality of life will improve. Throwing this out from personal experience and that of friends and relatives. You are close enough to ride a bike to work now. You may trade that for a long, shitty commute. I guess that comes down to how much the current job sucks. Good luck with your decision.
Oh, and that quick swing to High Mountain, takes you 10 minutes further from home.
