Difficulty Rating:

Contains classic climbs: Little Tor, Gate Hill and Bear Mtn, via northern Bergen County rather than eastern Rockland County. Has Little Tor detour option. 2008 A STS cue sheet, ride #6. 2009 A STS, ride #8. Be prepared for possible traffic descending Anthony's Nose at ride's end. Metro North bike pass needed for return. Check train schedule for possible change. Original cue sheet revised 4/16/09.
The Ride With GPS route and cue sheet differs slightly from the others. It begins at Grant's Tomb, Riverside Drive at 122nd St. Ron has evolved some other slight modifications. Ride leaders should be aware of this so that all riders are "on the same page." Nor does it have the Little Tor bypass. Then again, it would hardly be a climbfest if you did bypass Little Tor. [stay on Rt 45 north, take the left on Rt 202 and David's Bagels will be in the mini mall on the left just after you pass under the overpass]
