Scout: Two Lakes in Westchester - Get Out of Town Series

 

Our “Get out of Town” series takes us through Westchester County NY starting in Port Chester.  After going through Greenwich CT and back into Armonk we will visit Byrum Lake. There is a little less than a mile of dirt/gravel, but an experienced rider should be able to manage with road tires. We’ll continue to Mount Kisco where we’ll have lunch at Captain Lawrence (https://www.captainlawrencebrewing.com/mt-kisco-menu/).  After lunch, we’ll visit Wampus Lake and then continue back to Port Chester.

This will be a scout ride so expect some missteps along the way. We will be riding at an Advanced pace, meaning 15-17 mph on the flats. This is a 38 mile ride. 

This ride will be led by Frank Caputzal, one of the 5BBC Leadership Trainees. 

We are limiting capacity for this ride to a total of 12 because we prefer riding as a group, with limited point-drop-sweep. 

There will be a rest stop/bathroom break at mile 6 at the Westchester County Airport and then again at the lunch spot at mile 21. 

There is an 8:36 AM train out of Grand Central getting to Port Chester at 9:28 AM. Please make your way around to the southbound (train travel) side where we will start the ride. Please note, there is an elevator at the south end of the station. For those driving, please park in the parking lot that is located on the southbound (train travel) side and be ready to ride when the train folks arrive. 

Please bring a bike in good working order. Please make sure your tires are properly inflated, bring a spare tube, sunscreen, water and snacks to keep you fortified. As always, a properly fitted helmet is required. 

If you are unable to attend the ride, please "unregister" in a timely fashion so that those on the waitlist can move up and take the spot. Lastly, if you sign up for the waitlist and receive a waitlist notification, you must open the email and register for the ride using the link provided in the email. The system does not automatically bump you up to the ride if a spot becomes available.
