Ride starts and ends at Dinosaur Playground on Riverside Dr. at W. 97th St.

This is a standard "easier" version of the hilly Nyack ride - shorter and less hilly, but does go over Bradley.  Lunch in Piermont (or Nyack, if you wish), with a return up 9W.

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.

From the Hudson River bike path heading north, cross Dyckman Steet and enter Dyckman Fields Park.

You will need to roll your bike in the track as you walk up the steps or shoulder your bike over the rail road overpass. 

Signs on the Henry Hudson Bridge say no bike riding permitted. Does that mean on the roadway or bike path...?

Manhattan College Parkway is a wonderful hill.

The Old Putnam/County Trailways in Van Cortlandt Park is soon to be paved... still holding your breath?
