The Old Put Randonnee


While I was working on the Tri-State Gravle Guide, and adding dirt roads for Westchester County focusing on the Dirty Martha route, I came across the Old Croton Aqueduct State Park, which is a 23 mile Greenway, would dovetail nicely with a part of the South County Rail Trail that I have yet to ride.  This route starts in Yorktown Heights and goes down to Yorktown via the Aqueduct Trail to Van Cortland Park where you would turn around and pick up the Old Put/South County Trail Way on the return leg.  60 miles is a good trip.  Start in Brewester and make it an American Century!

The Gravle Guide: Western Connecticut

The Gravle Guide is a Google Maps Engine project to classify all the dirt roads, rail trails, and other rideable trails for people who like dirty cycling.  I have most of Western Connecticut identified.  I think I missing some roads in the Litchfield area and I have yet to start adding rail trails.  If you see something I have missed, please contact me Le Gravle Ranonneurs with the name of the road, a cross street, and the condition of the road and I will be sure to add it.  



Color coding:  
  • Brown - obvious.  
  • Red -  the road is unconfirmed.  
  • Orange - goes through but it more or a right of way (ROW) and not an actively traveled thoroughfare.  
  • Yellow means caution and that the road is seasonally maintained.
This map is not intended for navigation, just for planning.  Please use responsibility.
