STS4 – Saddle River, S. Mountain Road & Nyack - Recap
Sunday, May 9, 2021 - Recap
A long but beautiful day in the saddle…
89 miles
Sunday, May 9, 2021
Please Note: The ride has been moved to Sunday to avoid rain.
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 with Paramus Mall & Ikea 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 after which 87 mile riders do a fairly direct ride through Saddle River (🎥) and Upper Saddle River (🎥) then over to Airmont and then up to South Mountain Road(🎥). Then they go south to Blauvelt, where they take Bradley Hill Road to get to Nyack and Upper Nyack "through the back door" (🎥). After a stop at Runcible Spoon Bakery they head south through Piermont to Market Diner. Then, instead of going back the "normal" way via 9W they go through Rockleigh, Tenafly, etc. and do the hill climb in Englewood Cliffs.
