Are there any maps around for NYC ---> Westchester? I'd like to start biking from Manhattan to New Rochelle, rather than doing it the easy way (taking my bike to Grand Central Station and hopping on the train with it)

Thank you.

I don't know of any. If you find some, let me know.

I live basically in between NYC and Westchester (northern Bronx), and I'm constantly riding on the road to get to bike paths in Westchester or in Manhattan.

I usually just take Riverdale Ave. north to Nepperhan all the way up to its end to get to the Westchester bike trail (south section), or I take Henry Hudson side road south to Riverdale Ave. to Broadway to get into Manhattan.

as for New Rochelle... I don't know of any maps, I usually ride the streets... US route 1 or Shore road
