Spring Training Series - Ride 1
Saturday, April 5, 2025
9W Out and Back
12 - 24 Miles
Saturday, April 5, 2025
After a brief meet up and introduction on the Manhattan side of the George Washington Bridge, we will split into riding groups and start our ride over the GW Bridge. There is an optional stop at Strictly Bicycles a short distance into the ride for those that need it (bathroom stop, mechanical issues). The ride continues to 9W with three destinations according to preferred ride distance.
Ride 1R – Road Option 28-39 Miles (On Ride With GPS, look for STS19-1R.)
Go as far as you like. The three stopping points are Market Diner (28mi), Bunbury's Coffee Shop in Piermont (32mi) and Runcible Spoon in Nyack (39mi).
Ride 1G – Mostly Road with some Gravel 29-42 Miles (On Ride With GPS, look for STS19-1G.)
Hits all the stopping points for STS1 – Market Diner, Bunbury's & Runcible Spoon. But please note that Piermont is not a turn-around point on this route – only Market Diner & Nyack are turn-around points.
Those turning around at Market Diner will continue north into Tallman State Park and then turn right to reverse direction and go south.
For those going beyond Market Diner, there are gravel stretches through Tallman Mountain State Park and down the Old Erie Rail Trail. Most of the gravel is hard packed and not difficult to ride with skinny tires if you slow down a bit, provided it hasn't rained recently.
On the way back, there's alternate routing through Palisades Interstate Park for a more scenic experience, fewer cars but more hills.
PLEASE NOTE: Start times of Spring Training Series rides will change depending on ride distance and weather.
