Any day on the bike is a good day

## Welcome and hello

Cycling in Westchester, NY can be one of the best experiences on a bicycle. With idyllic conditions, a broad range of roads to choose from, perfect scenery, courteous drivers (mostly) and choice of routes that fits any cycling style, Westchester is the ideal place to cycle.

Having logged thousands of miles in and around Westchester, NY, I turn my experience in to valuable knowledge about great routes, cool places to stop for scenery, food and drink, or an ice cold beer.

# Routes and Rides

The routes listed below are listed as either beginner, intermediate or advanced. Beginner routes are flatter, with less car traffic, or technical skills required. Advanced routes are for riders who are skilled and comfortable riding in traffic and can ride for longer distances and good at being self-sustained.
