STS2– Metric Century Riders – Throgs Neck - Recap
Saturday, July 25, 2020 - Recap
Bronxville, Larchmont, Orchard Beach & Throgs Neck
48 miles
Saturday, July 25, 2020
We'll start the ride in Inwood and then ride up the South County Trail to Broxville and then over to Larchmont. If you haven't ridden in this area before – parts of it are simply gorgeous. We'll all stop for a bit at Umbrella Point in Larchmont which overlooks Larchmont Harbor (🎥). If we're lucky the Larchmont Yacht Club will be setting sail for their Saturday races. Everyone will also go past Premium Millpond which is über picturesque.
Metric Century Riders ride the same route as Healthy Habits riders through New Rochelle. In Pelham Bay Park (🎥) they split off and go over to Orchard Beach (once considered "The Riviera Of The Bronx"). Then they head south to Throgs Neck (🎥) where they can explore the fascinating Fort Schuyler. (Make sure to bring ID – since it's a Coast Guard facility you might be asked for ID, but usually they just waive you through). Then they rejoin the Healthy Habits route on a mix of mostly quiet urban streets and greenways including the greenways in Pugsley Creek Park (🎥) and Soundview Park (🎥). And finally the ride ends on Randalls Island.
All the caveats mentioned above about parts of the Bronx portion of the ride being "urban" are true for the Metric Century ride as well. If frequent "unclipping" bothers you, then we recommend you follow the Century route and take MetroNorth back from Harrison (44 miles).
Miles: 48 (less w/ MetroNorth or subway return)
Feet Climbing: 1,866
