Great route to Kensico Dam. Lunch at Kensico Dam Plaza. Optional route onto Bronx River Parkway if it happens to be closed to cars at time of ride (Sundays May - Oct). Optional bailouts on Metro North White Plains and stations south, bring a Metro North Bike Path if in doubt of full length of ride. If you take Metro North to or from White Plains you can cut this ride in half, easily a C ride.

RWGPS route and cue sheet re-routed off Grand Concourse to the more bike friendly Goulden.

Stan Oldak, this route's author, was Chair of ENY, B Ride Coordinator, President of NYCC 2005 and a prince among men.
