I recently discovered this site published by Ken Roberts and Sharon Marsh Robert.
Found while searching for “steepest climbs” near New York City, they also have some great safety advice and reminders for riders of all ability levels and some maps and routes. Good stuff.
My primary takeaway from the safety tips page is the wise reminder: “Don’t do anything beyond your control.”
For the nearest steep climb to the city, no surprise, it’s Bear Mountain.
