Ride starts at Dinosaur Playground on Riverside Dr. opposite W. 97th St. Restrooms are on the left.
Fairly standard Pearl River route, with a twist coming home (including a very short 12% kicker up to Western Hwy). Lunch is at the Muddy Brook Cafe, a cycle club favorite - and even better if you speak with an Irish accent. Outbound on Rivervale/N. Middletown, you have almost 3 miles of "false flat" uphill grade of 1-2% (in case you're wondering why you're going slower than usual).
Ride officially ends at the NY side of the GW Bridge to keep it at 50 miles.
