Kolby, I'm a little embarrassed I had no idea about the Riding the
Catskills blog. What a gem of a blog. A wealth of riding to explore here.
Thanks,
Rob

Bob, thanks for sharing these. Are you familiar with the Riding the
Catskills blog? It's not being updated anymore, but there's a great archive
or rides on there. Many can be accomplished by going up on MetroNorth and
crossing over the river. It would be a long day, but totally doable. Or

Hey Bill
Yea I get a little flex on my Bosco/tallux setup. Honestly I just put the
tallux on; prior to that i had the Boscos on the stem that was original to
the bike (It's a Bridgestone t700 by the way, not a Trek). I actually don't
mind the flex so far, but I haven't really put it to test yet
Hey Bob E, I like your Trek too. I see you have a lot of a long stem showing
there like I do. Do you experience flex like I do? My 7000 is strictly a short
distance bike so it's not a big issue. But boy can I flex that cockpit! I have
it set up as my train station bike now. Generic saddle that c
Bob E - Great resources! It's great to know about these. I'll definitely be
exploring this area in the future and will report back!
Bill - Thanks for sharing your routes and photos. I particularly like the
Bosco'ed Trek. Beautiful path it's on, too! I've done a similar thing with

I've done variations on the Van Cortlandt ride and the Poughkeepsie ride.
They're both fun, but riding between Poughkeepsie and Beacon on the west
side of the river is really nice. Lots of quiet back road and rail trails.
And there are a ton of variations you can do- I like riding through New

Late to the table here but this is a great thread Bob. It's nice to hear
about all of these routes in our area. It's a really diverse area with lots
of great riding. I live in Dobbs Ferry, a "rivertown" (Hudson) on the west
side of Westchester Co. I'm lucky, my house is right in between where th
Thanks! Yeah, that area isn’t what most people imagine NJ to look like.
DC to Pittsburgh on the C&O/GAP trails is on my list, so I’d love to see a
write-up and pics from you when you do it.
Here’s an article (with a photo) on the repair stand at the Trenton
station. (Hoboken has one, also
Hey Bob E. Great pics! It's good to get a little preview of that area.
Parts of it seem so pastoral, and look very similar to the C&O Towpath
trail further south. I actually plan to do DC > Pittsburgh this summer,
but that's another topic.
Also, Trenton station has a bike REPAIR STAND??? I've
Bob B,
When I go for rides along the Delaware & Raritan Canal towpath, the more
convenient option for me is to take NJ Transit’s Raritan Valley line (as I
can board it in Westfield, which is very close to my house) and get off in
Bound Brook. From the station, the D&R trail is basically aro
Mark, thanks for the pics and the info about dirt roads in the area. Looks
and sounds great! I'm already starting to get some new ideas... You can
definitely use those roads to stitch together a few state parks/forests
with mountain bike trails, i.e. Blue Mountain Park and Stewart State Forest.
Great photos, Mark!
Bob B, I'm glad you mentioned incorporating some of the many train lines in
the metro NYC area into these rides -- it's a great way to avoid the most
congested areas and to get to where the riding's good, and it can also
eliminate the return leg of non-loop rides, thus actin
There is also great riding a bit South of Beacon. Cold Spring and Garrison
are the two stops before Beacon on the Hudson train line from Grand
Central, and there is lots of riding, including many miles of historic
unpaved roads and plenty of challenging and scenic climbs. Hop over the
Bear Mo
Good stuff, Bob; thanks for putting this together! I've done the Trenton to
New Brunswick ride, and I'll have to check out the rest.

Damn, Bob B, thanks o much -- I've been too lazy (or a just creature of
habit, really) to figure out those Van Cortland Park / Kitchawan / Brewster
runs myself but am totally going to hit these routes now!
