MetroNorth return from Brewster or intervening
stations on the Harlem Valley Line.
Lunch in N. White Plains (28 mi) or continue on to Armonk
(35mi).
North of Armonk the route uses backroads through the horse
country, riding 6–7 miles on the hardpack between Bedford and
N. Salem.
Best done as a pre/post-foliage ride in late fall or early
spring to see houses and countryside.
If the preceding days are very wet the hardpack may prove unrideable. The
alternative roads (172, 22, 35 are heavily trafficked, w/o
shoulder).
Route can be used to go (paved) to Mt. Kisco or Bedford
Center (Metro North stations) which works out as 45 miles or
so.
