If our luck is golden, so might be the leaves as we ride the four miles up from Bear Mtn. Lodge to the top of the mountain. Although famously daunting, the climb is completely doable with some determination and the view is spectacular. We will start from the Garrison Metro North station at 10:00. It's too early to get the train schedule on that date but there will be a train leaving around 8:30 am from Grand Central that gets to Garrison a little before 10am. The actual train schedule will be provided closer to the ride. After the mountain, we will take the paved Jones Point Bike Path, stop in Haverstraw for some lunch and then take the unpaved Haverstraw River Trail to Nyack. The unpaved portion is completely doable on skinny tires, you just have to be a bit careful and it's so worth it. We'll end at the Tarrytown Metro North station. This ride starts and ends at different places but if you drive, you get a train from Tarrytown back to Garrison to pick up your car. We are limiting the ride to ten because we would like to ride as a group.

Bring the usual water, snacks, spare tube and method of inflation. Sense of adventure advised.
