Saddle River, Blauvelt State Park, River Road

86 miles

Saturday, August 8, 2020

UPDATE: This ride now starts at the same time/place as the Metric Century ride so Hill Climbers can ride to Saddle River with another, larger group of riders.

In week 4 we'll try something completely different – the Saddle River Trail. It's a beautiful oasis in the middle of a surburban desert… Unfortunately, there are a few miles riding through Hackensack which are a bit ugly. But the Paramus Mall & Ikea are nearby – the route we'll go is as good as it gets. But once you've gotten to the trail you'll forget all that…

The trail itself is nicely paved and really quite picturesque. Unlike the Bronx River Trail (which is an option in week 5), the trail is not particularly curvy, so everyone should enjoy it. When we get to the end of the trail we'll have lunch at a nearby diner.

Hill Climbers might have a better route than even Metric Century riders (if you like hills). If Saddle River (🎥) / Upper Saddle River (🎥) are the highlight of the longer routes, the Hill Climbers climb hill after hill after hill in those areas before heading east through Westwood, Harrington Park and Tappan to get to Blauvelt State Park to do even more climbing. They then go down Tweed Road before hitting Market Diner and heading back to the City via River Road (🎥).

Miles: 86

Feet Climbing: 5,257
