Well the fastest way to Monroe is rt 84 to the rt 34 exit then you can go either way, rt 34 to rt 111 or rt 25 to rt 111. I usually run the back roads with my car, to difficult to explain directions here though.
A good place to find the cruises is in the Special Interest section of the Bargain News, here is the site
