Will there also be a midtown Manhattan start ?

David,
I'm not planning another starting point, especially since I'll probably take the subway to Van Cortlandt, but I'll formally post another start if you want to create one.

Looking forward to it! Wallace, could you give us a sense of when you expect us to get back to Van Cortlandt?

Madeleine,
I'm glad you're coming! The expected end time at Van Cortlandt is 3pm. The organizer said some riders will cross Broadway for a beer at the end.
The exact start spot is The Van Cortlandt House Museum, 6036 Broadway, Van Cortlandt Park, The Bronx. Nearest subway is the 242nd St station on the 1 train. Enter the park from Broadway and about 245th St. Paths will take you to the House Museum.

Sounds good, thanks for the info! I probably can't stay for the beer, but I'm looking forward to the ride and lunch.

I'm very sorry to say something's come up tomorrow and I won't be able to make the ride! Have a wonderful trip, everyone. I would love to do this itinerary some other time soon.
