My mtb got more miles when I used to live in Jersey and Socal, but I still enjoy riding in the spots surounding NYC. I usually go to Graham hills but I'll ride Sprain Ridge and Blue mtn as well

Those 3 parks in Westchester are superb....
When I rode in the woods, and lived in the area, I rode them all the time....especially Graham. They all have their own uniqueness, too.... SPP
