twenty-five miles, making in all a fifty-mile run. This route may be
extended if the rider is looking for a longer distance, as far as
Stamford, which is perhaps about thirty-two miles from 110th Street. The
road is an uncomfortable one to ride over until the rider is well out of
the city, but after that it is reasonably good, except for the hills
before going into New Rochelle, and before going into Mamaroneck.

The rider should enter Central Park at Fifty-ninth Street and Eighth
Avenue; thence diagonally over to the Eastern Drive, leaving the Park at
its northern end; up Lenox Avenue to 128th Street; then east to Third
Avenue, and then across the Third Avenue Bridge. Half a block north of
the bridge turn to the right on the southern Boulevard; follow the
southern Boulevard east to Union Avenue, something more than a mile,
with Belgian block pavement all the way. At Union Avenue it is well to
leave the southern Boulevard, because the macadamized road is so full of
holes, and otherwise in very bad condition. Go on Union Avenue about
one-half mile north over mud ruts, and come out upon Westchester Avenue.
Here the rider has sixteen blocks of Belgian block pavement eastward.
After this comes a badly macadamized road, which has several descents
and short sharp hills for about three blocks to Fox Street; thence go on
a fairly good road, improving all the way, to the village of West Farms,
where you cross the Bronx River and come out on the old Boston Post
Road. From here the road is macadamized and is very good, and the rider
should keep to it all the way to Stamford. Or he may turn right just out
of Bronxdale and go down to New Rochelle through Westchester,
Baychester, etc. In either case the road is the same after leaving New
Rochelle.

There are many little hills between Pelham Bridge and New Rochelle, the
longest being in Neptune Park, just south of New Rochelle village. The
road is macadamized and in excellent order. There is a steep descent
about four blocks long as you approach Larchmont Manor, with a
corresponding hill to climb as you enter the village. There are three
hills, each about three blocks long, between Larchmont Manor and
Mamaroneck, the road being macadamized all the way. North of Mamaroneck
the road is macadamized and kept in excellent condition as far as Rye.
The road from Rye, thence around the north of Portchester, thence to
bridge at Bryan River, sharp turn to right here, and thence to
