Looking for relatively flat route   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #400 of 3330 |
Hi,
I'm in White Plains and I'm looking for a relatively flat training
route for solo riding, something around 20 miles to start with. I'm a
new cyclist, and I've only done one WCC ride (The new member ride in
late August).

I've tried going up route-22, to 120, and back into the city on
Anderson road, which was a great ride (~17miles), but I wasn't too
comfortable with the traffic on route-22 closer to the city, as well
as on anderson road.

I've also tried going south, Fisher Ave -> Walworth -> Etc ->
Scarsdale road, and that was nice too, much less traffic, but the stop
signs broke me up more than i'd prefer.

Any recommendations? I've looked in the cue sheet database, too, but
many of them seemed to cover higher-traffic roads...

Thanks,
Josh

p.s. - looking forward to doing more WCC rides in the spring!

Thanks Rachel, this sounds like a promising route as well. Between these suggestions I'm realizing there's plenty of good riding, I just need to find the...

You might try this + I'd go out Lake, which brings you up to 120 at Purchase St. Go right on Purchase. Take down to Anderson :Hill. And turn left. You could do...

Thanks Dave, that sounds like a good idea. Lake street going up to 120 makes me a little nervous, but it's probably as good a road as any to learn to handle...

Josh, Getting up to Purchase is your best bet to get out if the congestion. If you want to make it a little longer, you'll want to get up into Greenwich where...

Hopefully I won't need a flame suit for saying so, but there's always the bikepath... If you're serious and fast it's probably not the place for you though. ...

I actually did my first few rides on the north county trailway, which was great when I was basically just getting used to the clipless pedals, and the handling...
