Can anyone comment on this ride? If I go, I'll have room in my car for 2 passengers (with bikes, of course).
Golden Apple Ride This Sunday
I have done this ride for several years. Beautiful, rolling route, a challenging century (though there are shorter as well as longer routes). Very well marked and run, with good food stops.
There's lots of parking at the start, which is only a mile from the Katonah train station.
I would plan to get a bite to eat at the Katonah Diner afterward, just across the street from the train, on the corner. They served us a tasty lunch on the patio, on one of Bob & Russ's rides this summer.
And donate a few extra bucks to the Friends of Karen--it's a fundraiser.
It's a beautiful ride with hills, believe me, there's hills. Not mountains, but you should be prepared for some climbs.
The Start/End this year is one stop beyond Katonah, at Goldens Bridge. A bigger parking lot, but not as many good delis.
