Blauvelt State Park & State Line Lookout - Recap
Saturday, April 13, 2019 - Recap
Today’s The Day To Ride! (Tomorrow looks quite wet.)
30 or 43 miles
Saturday, April 13, 2019
The ride time has been pushed back 2 hours to avoid rain. So meet up at 10:45, get rolling at 11.
There’s actually less chance of rain north of the City, where we’ll be riding. And temps will be in the 70s, so looks like a great day to ride!
The full 43 mile route (w/ 2,930 feet of climbing) is:
https://ridewithgps.com/routes/29698227
We'll go up to Blauvelt State Park. It's hilly, but I hate hills and still find these climbs enjoyable. The view of the Hudson from the top is spectacular.
On the way back we'll go through Tallman State Park where there's a short, but lovely gravel section. If you want to skip the gravel you just continue on 9W.
We’ll stop at Market Diner and then go through Columbia University's Lamont Campus to State Line Lookout which is always stunning. And lastly we’ll ride back on “River Road” (Henry Hudson Drive).
You can also also go a shorter ~30 mile route where you just go to Market Diner and skip Blauvelt & Tallman. (It sounds like the STS 1 ride, but it's actually quite different.)
The 30 mile route (w/ 2070 feet of climbing) is:
https://ridewithgps.com/routes/29698543
Both routes are available in Ride With GPS with turn-by-turn directions.
My pace will be “Steady Eddie” (~16 mph on the flats) and will ride as a group with anyone going that speed. Others are welcome to form groups at other speeds.
