Saddle River Metric Century
62 miles (or 25 🚆, 41 🚆 miles)
Saturday, May 6, 2023
Rescheduled from last week!
In week three we ride over the George Washington Bridge into New Jersey again. We start by going up Knickerbocker Road, then go through Old Tappan (which is very quaint 🎥.) From there, we take the Joseph B Clarke rail trail (🎥) up to Blauvelt. Then we head west over to Nanuet and then down through Saddle River and on to Westville where we will break for lunch. Afterwards we'll head east towards Market Diner and continue down 9W to the GWB.
Note that there are plenty of food options along the way so we can have lunch earlier if we feel peckish.
Miles: 62
Feet Climbing: 2,768
62 Mile Route w/ GPX and cuesheet download options
Shorter Variants Of This Ride
We pass two NJ Transit train stations. You can shorten the ride to 24 miles at 🚆 Nanuet station or 41 miles at 🚆 Westwood station.
Longer Variant
This ride can be extended to 83 miles by branching north at mile 21. From there, head up through West Nyack and then to Congers where you can grab lunch at Steve's Prime Meats and then go over to Rockland Lake to eat. Continue on to the lovely South Mountain Road (🎥), then down to the posh Saddle River area (🎥) and Westville before heading back to Market Diner and back to the City via 9W. Plenty of food options marked along the route if you prefer a later lunch stop.
Recommended speed of 17+

Hi Peter - was wondering if this ride will still be on Saturday given that there's a high chance of rain?
Peter E.

Hey Marc. We're watching the weather closely. We might have to switch to Sunday if that turns out to be a better day for it. We'll probably have a better idea tomorrow, but we'll make the final determination on Friday, since April weather can changed so quickly.

I'm still considering how to handle tomorrow's ride. My current thought is to ride up the South County Trail and back, potentially with an earlier start. Still watching the weather to see what sort of a "dry" window we will have.

Beaten by the rain, at least for now. Updated schedule is forthcoming.

Hello! Does anyone have an extra spot or two for the Five Boro Bike Tour next weekend (Sunday, May 7)? I know it can be a parking lot as I've done it before but looking for more local tours :)

I don' think I want to go so might be selling mine!
