STS2 β Larchmont & The Bronx - Recap
Saturday, April 24, 2021 - Recap
A ride with everything: yachts to industrial areas
42 miles (or 32+ π miles)
Saturday, April 24, 2021
We'll start on Wards & Randalls Island and start by taking the Bronx River Greenway (and surface streets) to Bronxville and then ride over to Larchmont. If you haven't ridden in this area before β parts of it are simply gorgeous. We'll all stop for a bit at Umbrella Point in Larchmont which overlooks Larchmont Harbor (π₯). 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 ΓΌber picturesque.
Β
42 mile riders ride with the 49 mile riders through some nice residential areas in New Rochelle, then take a greenway through Pelham Bay Park (lovely π₯) where they diverge from the 49 mile 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 CreekΒ Park (π₯) and Soundview Park (π₯). The ride ends on Randalls Island (not Inwood).
Β
Despite all the greenways, much of the ride through the Bronx is pretty "urban". It's safe,Β and you're routed on the quietest streets possible, but if frequent "unclipping" bothers you, then we recommendΒ you ride either the 55 or 72 mile route β both have distance options in the mid-40s.Β
Β
Miles: 42 (less w/ MetroNorth or subway return)
Feet Climbing: 1,886
