Mt Kisco -> Goldens Bridge Gravel Ride - Recap

Get Out In The Country On Small Gravel Roads
42 HILLY miles
Sunday, April 7, 2019
Quiet gravel roads with rock walls, farms, and horses… Sound good? How about an adorable, gay-owned bakery/market to stop for lunch? You'll get all that on this ride. I'd estimate at least 35% of the ride is actual gravel roads. The rest of the ride is paved roads most of which are quiet country roads. Riding on busy roads is kept to a bare minimum.
This route may only be 42 miles, but it's HILLY. Ride With GPS says 3,200 feet of climbing, Strava says 3,900 feet. [I've decided to reverse the route, so ending the ride at Katona isn't really an option anymore.]
Here's the route in Ride With GPS (but I haven't tweaked the turn-by-turn yet):

This ride has MetroNorth both coming and going, so make sure you bring your MetroNorth bike pass ($5 at any station booth). We'll catch the 8:20 out of 125th Street (which leaves Grand Central at 8:10).
This is a scouting ride for me - can't say I've ever ridden any of this route. Make sure you bring plenty of fluids and snacks – it's 30 (hilly) miles before we stop for food at The Market at Union Hall (an adorable place that turns out to be owned by some gay friends of ours).
32mm tires is probably a minimum for this ride. So NOT skinny tire friendly.
This ride is in conjuntion with the GrNY club on Strava:
