Bronx River Trail & Dirt Roads in Bedford, Mt Kisco, Katona
56 miles
Saturday, August 15, 2020
Please Note:Β This ride isΒ notΒ skinny tire friendly. 38-47mm tires are recommented, and 32mm tires are a minimum for all but the strongest of riders.
Β
Like week two, we start in Inwood, head up the South County, then over to Bronxville. In Bronxville we head up the Bronx River Trail (π₯) β or residential surface streets for groups who don't like curvy trails. Everyone will stop for lunch in Valhalla at the base of the Kensico Dam.
Β
Multi-Surface Riders climb to the top of the Kensico Dam where there's a great view, then head north to the Whippoorwill Club and then over to Armonk. Along the way they go through the Usonia Historic District β a neighborhood planned by Frank Lloyd Wright.Β
Β
The area north of Armonk is made for gravel bikes. Many of the smaller roads in the area are "dirt" / "gravel" which is precisely the mix of riding that Multi-Surface riders love. They ride on a bunch of gravel roads in Mount Kisco, Bedford, and Katona before taking MetroNorth home from Goldens Bridge.
Β
COVID WARNING: This route requires a MetroNorth return. Please make sure you're comfortable with that before RSVPing.
