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.

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

This is the classic "hilly way" to Nyack, including both Bradley and Tweed. The ride then circles back to Piermont for lunch (but you can have lunch in Nyack, if you wish). The return is via NY-340/NJ-501, Jones Rd. & Linden (for a different way up the hill).

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

This is the classic "hilly way" to Nyack for B & C riders. It then circles back to Piermont for lunch. (This route only does Bradley.  If you want to throw in Tweed, see C-SIG 2016 Group 5 Ride #7.) The return is via NY-340/NJ-501 and Walnut.

Hilly way out beginning on Bradley which is not fully ascended as the route takes a left onto Schuyler. Please note that these hills are not suitable for winter riding if ice is prevalent.

Cue sheet has notes on turns and hazards.

This route is a good representation of what the NYC metro area has to offer in an out and back ride over varied terrain and esthetics.

Ride starts and ends on the NJ side of the GW Bridge.

Spencer’s classic winter route to Nyack by the reservoirs of the Hackensack River system. He manages to weave in the nicest elements of the region in one ride. 

No distances on the original cue sheet. I left it for sentimental value.

It enters Nyack from the north via Christian Herald, a short, steep climb.
