Apologies if I'm not looking hard enough, but trying to find a ride in the library with an out & back to Bear Mountain starting near GWB.

Would appreciate any recommendations, including rest stops/rest rooms, etc.

Many thanks

Gran Fondo NY, Sunday, May 20th, Hudson Terrace and Road Closure Information

Submitted by RSchmon on Tue, 05/08/2018 - 12:47am

Following is information on closed roads and how to navigate around the closure of Hudson Terrace during the Gran Fondo New York on Sunday, May 20th.  I have received this information from Uli Fluhme—co-founder and co-organizer of the event.

First, the south sidewalk of the GWB is not affected in any way by the GF—and is open all day to everyone.

However, all of Hudson Terrace is closed to cyclists and vehicles both directions all day from the exit of the GWB to Palisades Avenue.  Also, Henry Hudson Drive (River Road) is closed until 5pm.

To get around the closure of Hudson Terrace:

 AFTER 8:00AM, take Bruce Reynolds Blvd to Lemoine Avenue/9W and proceed north.
