Spring Training Series Pt. 1 - Ride 3 - Recap
Saturday, April 19, 2025 - Recap
Rockland Lakes/West Nyack
42 - 57
Saturday, April 19, 2025
This week, we'll travel up to scenic Rockland Lakes Park. Instead of heading directly up 9W, one of the most common routes for NY-area cyclists, we will mix it up a bit by riding surface streets through Tenafly, Demarest and Rockleigh. After a quick pitstop at Market Diner, our route heads up towards Blauvelt on the (paved) Joseph B. Clarke Trail.
From Blauvelt we ride to Rockland Lake through West Nyack and Congers where we have several options to pick up lunch. We'll take it to go and continue over to Rockland Lake and eat by the water's edge.
From there. we'll drop down the hill to a trail along the Hudson River where they ride for a mile and a half. The trail is gravel (cinders), but it is completely skinny tire friendly (🎥).
We then do a fairly direct ride back Through Nyack and Piermont to 9W back to the GWB. We do route through Columbia's Lamont campus to avoid a hill climb on 9W where there isn't a good shoulder to ride on.
STS 25: 57 Mile to Rockland Lakes route
The shorter version (42 miles) breaks off by Tallman Park and heads through Piermont and up to Nyack before turning back.
STS 25: 42 Mile to Nyack route
🚆 To further shorten the ride to about 27 miles (42 if you went to Rockland), you can take the Mario Cuomo Bridge from Nyack to the Tarrytown train station and return to the city via rail. You can use this route: Runcible Spoon Cafe to Tarrytown train station.
PLEASE NOTE: Start times of Spring Training Series rides will change depending on ride distance and weather.

Hey Johnny, are you able to post the updated Ride With GPS route under OutCycling's account? When I try to download it for offline use it keeps prompting me to pay for an account...
