Embark on the Central Park, The Bronx, and City Island Loop, a challenging racebike route spanning 37.1 miles (59.8 km) with a total elevation gain of 1024 feet (312 metres). This ride offers a unique perspective on New York City, transitioning from the iconic greenery of Central Park to the urban waterways of the Bronx. You can expect to complete this demanding loop in about 2 hours and 40 minutes, experiencing varied terrain and cityscapes along the way.
Planning your visit requires careful attention, as this extended loop is not uniformly marked and demands confident city riding skills. Be prepared for a mix of well-maintained paved sections and potentially less ideal segments, especially through parts of the Bronx. Some areas may feature heavy traffic and less bike-friendly roads, so strong navigation and awareness are essential for a smooth journey. Consider starting early to avoid peak traffic.
This route stands out for its incredible diversity, showcasing how natural spaces are woven into the urban fabric. You'll trace greenways like the Bronx River Greenway, revealing areas that have transformed from industrial sites into vibrant natural corridors. The ride culminates in the charming, almost New England-like atmosphere of City Island, where you can enjoy coastal views of the Long Island Sound and discover local seafood spots, offering a distinct contrast to the city's hustle.
