In 2017, the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge replaced the 1955-vintage Tappan Zee Bridge linking Westchester and Rockland Counties. In June 2020, the Cuomo Bridge added a shared use path for cyclists and pedestrians.

Our mission is to bicycle across the Hudson River on this bridge path and return safely to NYC.

The ride meets in the North Bronx (exact location provided to registered riders). The route includes the Putnam Trail, South County Trailway, Tarrytown Lakes Greenway, Neperan Rd, Cuomo Bridge path, Esposito Trail, Clarke Trail, Oak Tree Rd, Rt. 501, ChurcHILL Rd, and the GWB path. Ride ends at the Manhattan end of the GWB. 

Pick up lunch in Tarrytown or bring your own. We will eat at a riverbank park with views of the bridge.

Rides during the current pandemic are limited to 12 riders + 2 leaders. Everyone else gets wait-listed. Important: you must remove yourself from the list (or email the ride leader jzisfein@gmail.com) if you will not be riding. Failure to follow this instruction could get you restricted from signing up in the future. 

You must wear a helmet when riding and should carry water, sunscreen, and a spare tube. In addition, please observe these rules:

1. Wear a face mask at all times. The mask must cover your nose and mouth when you are close to others.

2. Even with a face mask, keep 6 ft. "social distancing" at the ride start, at rest stops, and at lunch stops.

3. Wash or sanitize your hands when using the rest room, before eating, and before touching your face.

4. Ride single file. If you need to pass another rider (or pedestrian), do so quickly; don't linger at close range.
