This ride provides a relatively flat approach to the hills including Hogback, Arden Valley, and Perkins. There are two rest stops with restroom facilities including Colonial Deli on Saddle River. This route takes a minor bypass around Skyline Drive.

Metro North return from Garrison. Bike pass needed for train. Check time tables for return as original cue sheet is old. It also starts from the Boathouse in Central Park while the RWGPS cue sheet and route starts on the NJ side of the GW Bridge.

This 78 mile ride lets you motor down 9w, Western Hwy, and Strawtown for 30 miles before taking you up into hills including Gate Hill, Tiorati Brook, Perkins, and Storm King. Bail option after Perkins for approx. 60 miles

Perhaps the limits of a strong, determined B rider.

9W north of the Bear Mtn Circle to 218 is not the friendliest place for a bicycle. Keep way right. The shoulder is diminutive at best at times.

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.
