Hazon Summer Ride: White Plains via Bronx River Parkway
http://www.hazon.org/programs/summer-rides/ The ride to White Plains (scheduled for May 19) is approximately 25 miles and is a mix of city and bike path riding. We're planning to leave the JCC in Manhattan at about 8:45 a.m. The ride should be fairly moderate, with a steep, but short, climb on the Hudson greenway at the GW bridge and a climb at the beginning of the Westchester County trail. The last 6.5 miles or so will be on the Bronx River Parkway, which is closed to cars several Sundays in May. Finally, the plan is to take the Metro North back into the city. The MTA requires a bike pass to take a bicycle on the train ($5). The MTA website says that a permit is available at Grand Central or at outlying staffed ticket offices.
