83 miles (or 64 🚇, 74 🚇, 77 miles)

Saturday, May 15, 2021

This week we start on the absolutely fabulous High Bridge. We'll ride up through the Bronx and Eastern Yonkers to Bronxville where you'll take quiet residential streets to White Plains at which point you get on the Bronx River Trail (🎥) briefly before getting to Valhalla. Everyone will stop for lunch in Valhalla at the base of the Kensico Dam.

Four Score Tourers climb to the top of the Kensico Dam, then head north to the Whippoorwill Club and then over to Armonk. On the outskirts of Bedford they deviate from the Century route and head back to the City.

The route starting in Purchase skirts the edges between a lot of well-known Westchester towns – Rye Brook, Scarsdale, White Plains and Eastchester (to name a few). It's mostly all quiet residential streets until you get to Mount Vernon.

In Mount Vernon (just after Bronxville) the ride is much more "urban". We've opted to route via the quiet, industrial MacQuesten Parkway in Mount Vernon rather than somewhat prettier, but much busier Kimball Avenue in Yonkers. Once in the Bronx you'll take the Bronx River Greenway to stay away from traffic.

Miles: 75

Feet Climbing: 4,300

Four Score route w/ GPX and cuesheet download options

The "Metric Century Plus" Option

This route is much like the others but it turns back to the City a little sooner (they only ride for about a mile in Bedford).

This is a good alternate route to have handy for anyone who gets into the ride and realize they've bitten off a bit more than they can chew that day.

Miles: 69

Feet Climbing: 3,682

Metric Century Plus route w/ GPX and cuesheet download options

Getting back to Manhattan…

Those routes get you to Gun Hill Road in the Bronx where you can either take the 2 or 5 train that's a couple blocks away, or take one of these routes back to Manhattan…

Gun Hill Road to Wards & Randalls Island (recommended)
8 miles, 300 feet of climbing
Gun Hill Road to Inwood (Dyckman Street)
5 miles, 200 feet of climbing
