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.
