Bronx River & South County Trails – Fall Foliage - Recap
Wednesday, November 7, 2018 - Recap
Westchester Trails Ride
60 miles, or 13 to 32 miles with MetroNorth return
Wednesday, November 7, 2018
Westchester County should be pretty close to peak fall color for this ride. And if you've never been on the Bronx River Trail – it's charming, and will be even prettier with the fall colors. Temperatures will be in the upper 50s, so it'll be a great day for a ride!
We'll be going up via the Harlem River Greenway and surface streets to Van Courtlandt Park. Then we'll either take the Old Putnam Trail or the Old Croton Trail which will connect us to the South County Trail. We'll get off the South County and take Palmer Road over to the Bronx River Trail in Bronxville. We'll take the trail (or quiet residential streets where there's no trail) up to Kensico Dam. We'll then take streets to Pleasantville where we'll catch the South County back down to the City.
If you want to see the ride mapped out, you can see it on Strava.
The Bronx River Trail goes along a MetroNorth line with stops every 2-3 miles. So there are many options to bail if you get too cold or just don't want to ride the full 60 miles. However, after Pleasantville (at ~32 miles), MetroNorth isn't a viable option.
This ride is completely road bike (skinny tire) friendly. All the trails are paved except in Van Courtlandt Park and we're happy to wait for anyone who wants to take streets around the park.
