STS1 – Market Diner & Nyack - Recap
Saturday, April 16, 2022 - Recap
A variation on a familiar route…
41 miles
Saturday, April 16, 2022
Riding up to Nyack is one of the most common routes for NY-area cyclists. Usually people just go up and back on 9W. We mix it up a bit by riding surface streets through Tenafly, Demarest & Rockleigh on the way up before stopping at Market Diner. But then our route is pretty standard. The 36 mile riders will be turning around in Piermont, but the ride along the river as you head north from Piermont is pretty wonderful… (🎥) We then do a pretty standard ride back on 9W, though we do route you through Columbia's Lamont campus to avoid a hill climb on 9W where there isn't a good shoulder to ride on. And we get you off 9W onto quiet streets just after the wide shoulders end in Englewood Cliffs.
There are lots of cyclist-friendly options for food and fluids – Market Diner in Palisades, Bunbury's Coffee Shop in Piermont, and Runcible Spoon and Boxer Donut – both of which are in Nyack.
Miles: 41
Feet Climbing: 1,944

To shorten the ride to about 26 miles, you can take the Mario Cuomo Bridge from Nyack to the Tarrytown train station and return to the city via rail. You can use this route: Runcible Spoon Cafe to Tarrytown train station.
If you would prefer a shorter distance but still ride out and back, you can turn around at Market Diner for a 29 mile ride, or at Piermont for a 35 mile ride.
Suggestion: If you're familiar with riding up and back to Nyack and want to try something a little different – consider the route that does a little hill climbing in Blauvelt State Park before getting to Nyack. It's just 47 miles if you skip the portion of the route above Nyack.
