Of course you can do loops in Central Park or Prospect Park but most of us crave more adventure. So here&#8217;s something you won&#8217;t hear very often: you can find that adventure in <em>Westchester.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The ride:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Jump on your bike for a 15 mile ride from Van Cortlandt Park to Captain Lawrence Brewery. The majority of this bike adventure runs along the path of the &#8220;Old Put&#8221;, an abandoned railway line north of New York City. It&#8217;s flat and mostly paved making it a relaxing and scenic experience as you ride along a quiet path past swampland, lakes and forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1652294049380_118\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5235cb72e4b01ae2ba612744\/1448033921865-65H7UFGQ7E2GON8R6KEJ\/Biking+the+Old+Put?format=1500w\" alt=\"Fall foliage on the &quot;Old Put&quot; in Westchster\"\/><figcaption><em>Fall foliage on the &#8220;Old Put&#8221; in Westchster<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The plan:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Quick summary: A relaxed bike ride from Van Cortlandt Park to Captain Lawrence Brewery via The Old Put &amp; South County Trailway<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This trip starts at Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx.
