I'm a fan of crushed gravel, too, as I love slapping on a set of MTB tires and listening to that "ccccrunch" sound beneath me as I pedal along. It also gives me a sense that I'm in some private wonderland that hasn't really been "over-processed" by modern machinery.
All that aside, having never ridden in VC Park, I'd really like to experience it someday, especially as a gateway to the Westchester County Trails, which I haven't ridden in a number of years.
