Day Ride

THE OLD PUT CENTURY - TA CENTURY TRAINING RIDE #4

8:00 AM, Woodlawn (Jerome and Bainbridge Aves), 92 miles, 15 mph pace

The New York and Putnam Railroad, a/k/a "The Old Put", was a dismal failure as a commercial rail line and was put out of its misery circa 1980. Fortunately, the right-of-way was almost entirely preserved, and the rail barons' loss became our gain when Westchester and Putnam Counties built a rail-trail for recreational use. You can now bicycle most of the way from Bronx to Carmel (and back) on a path that is paved, level, and car-free. Hooray! Bring water, snacks, lunch or $ for it, plus $ for train fare and an MTA Bike Permit in case you need a still-operating railroad to leave early. Leaders: Jesse Brown and Jim Zisfein
