The one loop bike course takes place in the Croton Reservoir Region of the Hudson Valley. The course is a mix of rolling hills and smooth flats. Some of the climbs though will require small chainring work.
From Croton Point Park make a left hand turn onto S. Riverside ave (Rte 9) with a right at the Colonial Diner (Rte 129). After “The Croton Dam Hill”, a ½ at 10% grade you will encounter a rolling terrain until you come to Rte 100 where you will make a left turn. Travel north on Route 100 to Somers, past the 7/11 and pass the bottle exchange on the right hand side of the street at the 18m mark. Just up ahead turn right onto Rte 138. After crossing over I-684 you will make a right turn onto the entrance ramp of Rte 22 N. Past the Swan deli you will make the second right turn onto Rte 116 and cycle around The Titicus Reservoir. At the intersection of the North Salem post office you will make a right onto June Rd which merges into Rte 121 S. Turn right on Rte 138 and head back to Somers. This will bring you back to Rte 100 where you'll turn left. The bottle exchange will be on your right hand side of the street. Climb the slight grade up Rte 100 and you will pass the 7/11 on your way back along Rte 100. After the 4m time trial on Rte 100 make a right onto Rte 118. After the Croton Reservoir you'll turn right onto Croton Ave and do an out/back sxn that does a 180 degree turn back to Rte 129 where you will make a right turn and head back to Croton. Right turn on Municipal Place, go under 9a and make a left on Half Moon Bay Rd. Follow Half Moon Bay (past Max Finkelstein's Tires ) around to a right-hand bend over the overpass (train tracks underneath). Right onto Eliot for only about 350 ft, then a SHARP RIGHT TURN onto the bike path (this is a strict NO pass zone) before out to Half Moon Bay. Stay on Half Moon Bay before making a right on Croton Point Ave and follow back to transition.
