The North County Trailway – The Pine Bridge Monument loop from Irvington offers a delightful road cycling experience, transforming a former rail line into a scenic journey. You'll pedal through a mix of forests, wetlands, and suburban stretches, with the highlight being the impressive bridge over the Croton Reservoir, providing expansive views. While mostly paved and gentle, some sections might present tougher pavement or debris, so be prepared for varied conditions on this moderate 42.9-mile (69.0 km) route.
Planning your ride is straightforward, with Irvington serving as a convenient starting point to access the North County Trailway. The trail itself provides amenities like restrooms and water fountains, and towns along the way offer spots for refreshments. Parking is available at various points along the route, making it easy to join, and the tree cover provides welcome shade on warmer days.
This route is part of the larger Empire State Trail system, connecting seamlessly with the South County Trailway and extending north into Putnam County. Its rail-trail heritage means a gentle grade, designed for trains, which translates to a pleasant ride for cyclists. The 1683 feet (513 metres) of elevation gain over approximately 2 hours and 54 minutes makes it a good option for those seeking a substantial, yet not overly strenuous, road cycling adventure in Westchester County.
