An update on Peekskill ....

After crossing the Annsville creek on the 9, one can "hop" over the concrete barrier and get on the Ansville Creek Preserve. It is paved path that leads to Water street between the 9 and the railroad and one can follow streets to get on the 9A which then brings one to Croton where you can catch the bike path on the south/west side of the 9 to cross the water and get to Ossining.

Traveling between the tracks and the 9 is not as pretty as Washington street which I did last year. But it avoids a number of hills and avoids having to go through the town of Peekskill. (and Washington Street route gets you down to the 9A eventually) (Because of length of that trip minimising hills at that stage of the trip becomes important).

There are plans to have a cyclable route all the way from Peekskill to Croton. There are a few non-connected segments alread done.

And while I am at it... Since this is to be on same day cycling. The Black Bridge at Cohoes (just north of Albany) which is meant to link both ends of the Delaware Avenue Trail is now expected to be opened to Cylists at end of September. Until then we must still detour through the main road back on mainland.
