68 mile option to Ossining RR Station and 74 miles to Tarrytown RR Station on original cue sheet.

Possibly, one long B ride, especially if you omit Perkins.

The Ride With GPS route and cue sheet bypasses some of the most egregious sections of this route that have developed since its creation: Rt 9W from Piermont to Nyack, and Rt 9 from the Peekskill causeway to Main St.

Options to bypass AV descent and Long Mtn and Perkins climbs, but why?

Metro North rail pass needed for return from Peekskill.

Water available at the carousel at Bear Mtn, before and on the same side as the Bear Mtn Inn, on the left just past the Bear Mtn traffic circle below the hairpin.

Metro North both ways on Hudson Line. Check time table. Metro North bike pass needed. Hilly route out to Goshen.

The most difficult route is on RWGPS and its cue sheet. Other options on author's cue sheet, which has been updated. But no bailouts.

Check Metro North schedule for latest train times.

Metro North bike pass needed. Check time table for train times. Very hilly to Greenwood Lake plus other hills in rest of ride. Here is what Fred sent as clues to insight of route: Garrison > Tioretti Cir – down AV > Southfield then backroads to Benjamin Meadows Rd and the Hogback. It puts the Southfield Valero at mile 20 making Goshen the next stop (47mi). The short version takes the Sara Wells trail to Beacon. The long version is a great flat route that heads up to Bryun Tpk at the infamous roller, turning R to fly into Wallkill.
