Spring Training Series Pt. 1
Saturday, April 19, 2025
Rockland Lakes/West Nyack
40 - 55
Saturday, April 19, 2025
Rockland Lakes and West Nyack here we come! Get ready for a really nice moderate ride with new lunch options including vegetarian-friendly! The shorter road version (41 miles) is the same as before and the longer one (54 miles) has been extended slightly by going around Rockland Lake.
The gravel version (56 miles) stays with the road cyclists while going northbound, except for a small diversion to experience Congers Lake just before the lunch stop. After lunch it goes its own way, following along...
...the Hudson River in Hook Mountain State Park (experience here https://youtu.be/fpSm0WxWC9k),
...then takes the Old Erie Rail Trail (aka Raymond G. Esposito Trail) from Nyack to Sparkill,
...then goes through Tallman Mountain State Park (experience here https://bit.ly/2F5fPBj),
...and finally through Palisades Interstate Park on Henry Hudson Drive (aka “River Road”) (experience here https://bit.ly/2UwcmB7).
The gravel parts are skinny tire friendly if you slow down a bit and your tires have reasonable puncture protection, which you probably have anyway for NYC streets. The Old Erie has about 100 feet that’s a bit rough, otherwise it’s generally flat, hard-packed gravel.
We discourage the gravel route if there have been significant rains in the days prior to the ride, especially for riders with skinny tires.
