Ride description:

Paved. Level. Car-free. What’s not to like? We’ll ride Westchester’s North and South County Trailways and the Putnam Trail a/k/a “the Old Put” from Yonkers to Carmel. On-road sections are short: Bronx to Yonkers and Carmel to Brewster for the train home. Bring water, snacks, Metro-North rail pass, $ for train fare and lunch and an appetite for a good workout.
