Head up over the historic High Bridge - don't forget to turn around on the bridge to look at the tower. You'll practice urban riding thru the Bronx, then take mostly side roads to Bronxville for lunch at Il Baccio (pizza, salads, soups, pasta, gelato...). You will, of course, have a hill after lunch, climbing Palmer to get to the South County Trailway for a sweet, gentle downhill cruise back to Van Cortlandt Park. After crossing the Broadway Bridge you'll have one more easy climb up Bennett before returning down Riverside Drive to Dinosaur Playground.
