Lunch is included!The Putnam Division of the New York Central Railroad – the “Old Put” – used to chug commuters into New York City from communities in Westchester and Putnam Counties. First run with steam trains, then with diesels, the route was ultimately abandoned in the 1950’s as the region’s highways were constructed. Fortunately, much of the railroad right-of-way was left in tact, and now it is a bike path stretching 48 miles between Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx and Brewster.
This bike tour will take you on the northernmost 35 miles of this trail – a ride that is mostly free of cars, with plenty of scenic views along the way. You won’t believe how close you are to NYC and its suburbs while you are on this trail! Historic markers and remnants of the old railroad line the route, giving you an opportunity to learn about the history of the railroad and the communities it served.
When you reach the end of the ride, you’ll get to experience Captain Lawrence Brewery! And have a tasting of up to 10 beers!
Your ride begins at the north end of the “Old Put” in Brewster, NY. Take the Metro-North train to Brewster with your bike (bikes are allowed on the train) and meet us there where we will hook you up with energy bars, snacks and water before sending you on your way “down the line”. The train you will need to take departs Grand Central at 8:50am, Harlem-125th Street at 9:00 am or Fordham at 9:08am. If you are not coming from NYC, you can also drive to the North White Plains train station where you can park for free and board this same train at 9:30am.
From Brewster it is a beautiful 35-mile ride under an almost continuous canopy of trees, with plenty of interesting sights along the way. Enjoy a picnic lunch at the midway point (lunch provided), then ride on to the “last stop” in Elmsford at the Captain Lawrence Brewery where you’ll get to try up to 10 of their beers. When the brewery closes at 6:00pm, both you and your bicycle will be transported to the North White Plains train station for the train ride home (or to meet your car if you parked there).
Vehicle support is offered on this tour. That means your guides are there for you if you can’t finish the ride, or if you experience a breakdown with your bike. We can come pick you up! Discount rail fare to and from the ride is also available for an additional $19.
