Old Croton Aqueduct Tour
The Old Croton Aqueduct, now pretty much forgotten, was one of the great engineering
achievements of its day that brought fresh water into Manhattan. Today the old aqueduct right-of-
way has been turned into one of the longest and skinniest public parks in the world. The park
offers a delightfully undemanding route through what once was and remains one of the country's
most fashionable suburbs.
The tour starts at Croton Gorge Park where you will see the dam and the beautiful water fall flowing
down from the reservoir. We will start the day off by reviewing the basic mechanics of a mountain
bike and the skills that are necessary to safely ride off road. The ride will start with a short climb up
a gradually sloped fire road. Once at the top we will enter the Old Croton Aqueduct Trail. The trail
is a flat smooth dirt surface with very little rocks or roots. A couple of points during the ride you will
encounter slight elevation changes, but the rest of the ride will be relaxing and enjoyable as you
take in the beautiful scenery. The riding will be done mostly off road with short rides on the road to
connect the trail.
Distance: Approximately 12 miles. Length of Time: 2.5- 3 hours.
Helmet required.
Free bike safety check.

Blue Mountain Tour
Blue Mountain has become one of the most popular places to ride because of its many miles of
challenging single track. This 1,600 acre Westchester County Park has trails specifically
constructed for mountain biking. Along the way, the trails offer a variety of challenges such as
rocks, roots, stream crossings, and a number of elevation changes. You can also make your way
up to two peeks (Mt. Spitzenberg and Blue Mountain) both with great views of the Hudson River.
The group will meet at Blue Mountain Reservation in Peekskill, NY. The day will start with a review
of basic skills and techniques. The instructors will offer tips to help the riders safely navigate
the trails. The tour will start with a short warm up on the fire road/double track and then off to ride
some great single track. The route of the tour will be determined based on the riders’ abilities
and interest. Participants must have riding experience on technical trails and single track.
Distance: 5-15 miles. Length of Time: 2.5- 4 hours.
Helmet required.
Free bike safety check.
