STS2 – Healthy Habits Riders – Larchmont & The Bx - Recap
Saturday, July 25, 2020 - Recap
Bronxville, Larchmont & The Bronx
39 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.
Healthy Habits Riders ride with Metric Century riders through some nice residential areas in New Rochelle, then take a greenway through Pelham Bay Park (lovely 🎥) where they diverge from the Metric Century folks and take the Hutchinson River Greenway south (parts of which are in slight disrepair). After that it's a mix of mostly quiet urban streets and greenways including greenways through Pugsley Creek Park (🎥) and Soundview Park (🎥). The ride ends on Randalls Island (not Inwood).
Despite all the greenways, much of the ride through the Bronx is pretty "urban". It's safe, and you're routed on the quietest streets possible, but if frequent "unclipping"bothers you, then we recommend you use the Century route, and take MetroNorth back from Harrison (best option, 44 miles) or Rye (shorter option, 35 miles). Another option is to follow the Metric Century route and take the 6 train home after Throgs Neck (39 miles). There will still be a few stretches with a fair amount of unclipping, but just a few.
Miles: 39 (less w/ MetroNorth or subway return)
Feet Climbing: 1,699
