Today Tom and I rode up through Palisades Interstate Park (Henry Hudson Drive) in Edgewater and rode up to Alpine Police station to meet Stu. (8.75 miles)
Our ultimate goal was Rockland Lake. I'm going to try and recreate the route so we can remember it for next time...but there are some details missing. First we went to Piermont by taking 9W North to Tallman state park. We made a right into Tallman State Park and at the stop sign, we made a right. The road curved to the left, we went over a bridge in the center of town by the big American flag. When you arrive in Piermont you must ride single file or you could get a ticket. (15 miles) We rode through Piermont and continued on Piermont Road and viewed some beautiful mansions! We saw more mansions today then we did last week! This is a
beautiful road...
Ok, this is not a mansion, but it's cute!
Our favorite..the Purple Mansion!
We had lunch at the Runcible Spoon in Nyack. http://www.runciblespoonbakery.com/
Leaving the Runcible Spoon....On to Rockland Lake!
We followed North Broadway Road and made a left onto Old Mountain Rd. I can't remember what we did next...so here are some links to remind us for next time:

Rockland Lake:
Tom got a flat on the way back to the GWB. He got 2 new kevlar tires at TOGA bike shop. Thanks TOGA! http://togabikes.com/storelocator/toga-bikes-nyack-3.htm
Heading home:
Reminder for coming back to the GWB from Piermont: Follow S.Piermont Road to 340 EAST. This will become County Road in NJ. Take this all the way to Englewood. Follow directions below from Nyack Ride (1998). Today I passed the 200 mile mark. (211) I'm doing much better than last year! Hooray!
