50ΒΊ Ride To The Croton Reservoir - Recap
Saturday, January 2, 2021 - Recap
Start the year with a metric century!
62 miles (or 23, 40 w/ π)
Saturday, January 2, 2021
Saturday looks like a great day for a nice long ride to up to the Croton Reservoir. Temps will average around 50ΒΊ β 45ΒΊ at the start going up to 53ΒΊ just after noon.Β
Β
It will have just stopped raining (which is why I'm riding paved trails instead of dirt).Β
Β
We'll do the standard route up and back on the the South County and North County (no RWGPS route necessary).
Β
Since I haven't done any long rides in a while, my endurance is pretty bad at the moment, and my good bike is in the shop, so I'll be riding my hybrid. As a result I'm going to intentionally go a bit slower so I can go longer before hitting my performance wall. People who want a faster pace are welcome to pull ahead at any point β especially late in the ride when I know I'll slow down even further. Even if you pull ahead early we'll see you again when we're cross paths as you return.
Β
The stated mileage is to/from Inwood, so add how ever many miles it takes you to get to/from that point.
Β
The way to shorten the right is to take MetroNorth back from Pleasantville which is at mile 23 on the way up, or mile 40 on the way back. You can also catch the 1 or the A train when you get back into the City (so you don't need to ride home from Inwood).Β

I'll probably turn around well short of the Croton Reservoir. Probably also will hop on a train, likely in Tarrytown, rather than Pleasantville.
