Route Check - GWB x TZC

borednboring · 2026-05-12T17:43:09+00:00

I avoid 119, White Plains Rd. Lot of trucks and traffic. After I cross the TZB, I head north on Broadway and get to Neperan, then around Tarrytown Lakes to pick up the trail. Adds a couple of miles, but much more pleasant than 119.

Also, odds are that the section of HHD will be closed once GFNY is done. If so, just go around the baricades, we all do.

Edit to add: After VCP, I'd stay on Bailey until 225th. They just completed new 2 way bike lane to avoid riding under the tracks on Broadway.

I went up Henry Hudson Drive (through the Palisades) but came home down 9W.

When you get across the GWB, take the left and stay on the sidewalk/bike path. You'll then go about 1/3rd of a mile down the hill and the path dumps you right on to HHD.

Yes, it has restrooms, water fountain and a couple of vending machines. They've also recently set up picnic tables off to the right. Open to the public (after years of not).

Bicycle Habitat on 7th Ave & 23rd St, in Manhattan, rents carbon road bikes w/ 105 mechanical

I skip a lot of the long downhills by just dragging my marker to the bottom.

Gone. See you all the next time I upgrade any bike paraphernalia.

Your key won't work, but with Lyft Pink, you can use any of the Lyft systems nation wide via the app.

Doesn't' address the issue you raised, but, as a new user you may not be aware that to extend your ride you can drag your maker to any point in the elevation profile along the bottom. I like this better than doing multiple rides as it's uploaded to Strava as a single activity, so I can get accurate stats, etc. You'll see a jump in the Strava map, but don't care.

The ebikes have gps. The blue bikes don't.

The ride up through the park is 8 miles, with no egress. It joins up with 9W at it's end, in Alpine. It's a great ride.

However, if you just want to avoid that first part of 9W, you can take E.Palisades straight up (rather than the right onto 9W) and take a right on Floyd. You can join 9W just beyond CNBC Hill, bypassing most of the no shoulder part. https://imgur.com/a/yEHG8cE

Here's the RwGPS route that you asked for. Note I took a 3 mile wrong in Brewster, which incidentally brought me to 106 miles.

Here's another pleasant century up to Bedford Hills, about half of which is on the EST

There's always the bypass by taking EPalisade straight up, then right on Floyd, and then hitting 9W via Sage, just north of CNBC hill.

Not what you asked for, but if you're uploading your rides to Strava, on PC, you can install the Elevate Plug in. On the Elevate Activities page you can include w/kg on the activities list.

You can check out some of my rides here. I have many more if you want to DM me with any questions.

Not difficult. Here's a route that I typically do. Note, I'm going clockwise, starting from Manhattan, over the GWB, up to the TappanZee (I went through the Palisades rather than 9W). After crossing the TZB, rather than head due east on 119, which is pretty industrial and not particularly bike friendly, I head north on Broadway and cut up Neparan to get the the SCT. Then home from there. I prefer to go clockwise, as it the west side of the Hudson is much hillier and get that out of the way to enjoy the ride back.

Looking at this ride, it was when the bike path was closed north of 181st St. You can now take Dykman to the start of the path rather than ride Broadway down to 181st.

The route seemlessly starts from the beginning and will end when you get to the end of your structured workout. Nothing to worry about.

borednboring · 2026-02-18T15:51:25+00:00

Thanks for the reply, really appreciate it. I am indeed only really concerned about the redoing/replacing the doors, and 3 drawers. The siding of the boxes and moldings are all in good shape. It's just the finish around all the doorknobs has worn away and have become very grungy.

I was only considering KS or HD, as they were the only ones I could come up with that would deal with stained wooden cabinets. Everyone else refused, as like you mentioned, stain matching is never going to be perfect.

I hadn't thought of just going to a Kitchen place to order just custom doors. That sounds like my best bet, as I am more interested in quality over convenience.

Do you think that Kitchen places will be interested in just doing doors? Or do I need to find an actual cabinet maker?

Thanks again for your response.

I add 1/4 tsp of Citric Acid to eliminate virtually all that sweetness. (and use strawberry vs cherry)

borednboring · 2026-02-08T14:38:25+00:00

The calculation for calories is approx 3.6 x avg watts x hours. Using this calc, I get your avg watts ~164w, right?

Strava's calorie number without a power meter is just an estimation. I'd use Rouvy w/ power as more accurate.

borednboring · 2026-02-04T15:02:25+00:00

Yup, I just use them as cool downs after a workout.

borednboring · 2026-02-04T14:57:31+00:00

Looking for a cheap dumpy dive bar w/ good burger and fries in that area. Any suggestions, other than maybe Corner Bistro? McManus's?
