This will be an advanced ride, with sustained speeds of 12-15 mph on flats, with long and some steep hills. This route will take us on a 42 mile loop with over 2,200 ft of climbing. We’ll start at Katonah and cross through Goldens Bridge, North Salem, Croton Falls, and Yorktown Heights. We’ll be traveling on (hopefully) mainly quiet and beautiful roads, we’ll pass several lakes and ponds in the area. We may find some unpaved roads as well so please be prepared.
You must be comfortable riding up and down hills as there are minimal bailout options. All riders should come equipped with hand sanitizer/wipes, a spare tube and tire levers, sunscreen, and a bike in good condition.
There is a water stop and restroom at mile 13 which we will stop at only if needed. There is a donut stop mile 18 that also features a restroom. Lunch is at a deli at mile 31. Please be sure you have full water bottles and plenty of snack foods.
This ride is accessible by public transport or private car. Meet in Katonah at the train station and be ready to ride at 9:30 AM.
