Can you translate a little....are you talking about running? I do a lot of biking in that area....My regular road route takes me right past Pace U. as I skirt around Pleasantville and just north east of Linda Avenue is Graham Hills Park which has some nice single track.

It's Frankford Street off Elwood Ave. Linda Ave is the street at the top of the hill....walking, running, pedaling all i remember is steep & brutal....we would park at the train station along Elwood Ave. Babe Ruth is buried off Elwood Ave in Mt Pleasant Cemetary. I remember going to see his grave. This was 1972:spin::spin:

its an easy run for me up rt 9 past white plains....who said i wouldnt drive? i really like that area. quiet, trees, very mellow from what i remember....anyone remember the old hawthore traffic circle? the gateway to upstate ny? lol....

Need a car for food and beverage. I can get down there on the train. You still have the Blades? I hear this is a good area for intense cross-training. Hills are where it's at.

You done skiing? Or now hiking at the New Institute for Downhill Studies? :uzi:
