This is a perfect ride for this time of year. The colors. The animals getting ready for the seasons change. And, if the weather turns spiteful, there's the railroad to rescue you if Pumpkin Latte doesn't do enough for you. We'll follow the Bronx River Parkway bike path up to the dam and lunch in Heaven(Valhalla). The view from the top of the dam is what calendar artists seek for their wares. And back we go for a second dip in the Autumn colors. 35 miles, paved path with some riding in traffic as well, little hills in places. Metro North bike pass, just in case.
