STS3 – Rockland Lake & Nyack - Recap
Saturday, May 1, 2021 - Recap
Some of the best parts of Rockland County…
54 miles
Saturday, May 1, 2021
In week three everyone heads to Rockland Lake. We start by going up Knickerbocker Road, then go through Old Tappan (which is very quaint 🎥), then we get on the Joseph B Clarke rail trail (🎥) and take that up to Blauvelt. Then up through West Nyack and then to Congers where we'll grab lunch at Steve's Prime Meats and then go over to Rockland Lake to eat.
After lunch Metric Century Riders south on the Hudson River Geenway which has beautiful views of the Hudson River and the Cuomo Bridge. They then continue south after Nyack, through Piermont, past Market Diner, on a pretty standard 9W ride back to the City.
(This route includes 1.5 miles on pristine gravel which IS skinny tire friendly 🎥).
[Please note: this route is very similar to week 1's 57 mile ride. If you want a similar mileage ride you can also ride the 83 mile route and return via NJ Transit from Emerson – that would be 60 miles.]

I really enjoyed the ride, especially the parts around Rockland Lake and along the Hudson. I want to try it again when it's warmer. Thanks for organizing it!
