RWGPS link is northbound route. It is 1800' gain

RWGPS link in Waypoints, futher above, is southbound route. It is 1400' gain.

I have updated the cue sheet that Hannah had originally submitted. So much has been changed on this route that it deserved to be rewritten, from access to added length. Thank you Hannah for getting this on the Ride Library.

Scenic ride through diverse 'hoods, including Prospect Park, Ft. Tilden and the Rockaways, over neat bike paths, with beaches and shorelines along the Atlantic Ocean.  There will also be some sobering parts, such as Breezy Point, the Flight 587 Memorial, Long Beach Boardwalk (newly reopened one year after Sandy), and Point Lookout. Mostly paved or wooden boardwalk (though with just a teensy bit of rough roads plus some stretches with a bit of wind-blown sand).  Finish at local fave Gino's of Long Beach (pizza) across from the LIRR station.

This is a beautiful loop made possible by the opening of the Cuomo Bridge bike path, and for those who like mixing it up and riding both roads and rail trails.

The loop takes 9W north to Nyack, then crosses the Mario Cuomo Bridge bike path to Tarrytown, ascends up to the Tarrytown Lakes Park, then returns south on the N/S County Rail Trail  to Van Cortlandt Park continuing to the Hudson Bridge crossing and the Greenway bike path south to wherever you want to finish.

The opening of the Mario Cuomo Bridge bike path makes possible this loop that allows cyclists a largely car-free paved bike path from Manhattan to Tarrytown, the beautiful long crossing of the Hudson River on the new Cuomo bridge path between Tarrytown and Nyack, lunch at the Runcible Spoon which has outdoor seating and a free water dispenser for cyclists, then a return that includes River Road.
