Thanks to all,

I was giving the thread time to see if anyone had any add'l suggestions.

Bottom line is outside of the Delaware-Raritan canal trail and its extensions along the Delaware, theres precious little non-paved stuff in the metro area.

Im very aware of the SCT, including the VCP section. Be aware that when recommending this trail, the "South" portion ends in Elmsford, the "North" picks up at Warehouse lane and "ends" at the Putnam County line, from there to Brewster it's the Putnam Railtrail.

Having ridden the entire lengths of the Old Put trail sections many times and am considering this as a possibility.
