Nyack or Rocket Ride

Submitted by Andy on Mon, 2007-09-10 15:28.

It leaves Runcible at 8 every Sunday. It heads through Nyack, Grandview and Piermont along the river and out to 340/501 to Englewood. It crosses over to 505 through Tenafly, Demarest, Norwood, Harrington Park, Rivervale, Pearl River, Nanuet, New City to South Mountain Road across to 9w and over Hook to Nyack. It's 50ish miles. In the winter it's a 40 miler that starts at 9 and heads back to Nyack once the ride gets to Pearl River. The ride was organized about 30 years ago by Jim at Nyack Bike. It's a heavy training ride. I would say the average speed depending on who is setting the pace (and for the most part it's the Westwood boys) is low to mid 20's.
