Plenty of good riding in nearby Harriman Park. Seven Lakes Drive is maitained and plowed year round with decent shoulders. From Nov 15 to Apr 15 Tiorati Brook drive, Lake Welch Parkway and Arden Valley Road are closed to vehicle traffic as they are un mantained but great for biking if there is no snow cover. The only trail on which mtn biking is allowed is acessed at the Anthony Wayne area in Bear Mtn Park.It is pretty much single track though. Also starting from Bear Mtn Park you can climb Perkins drive to the top of Bear Mtn, which is also closed to vehicles in the winter months, but a great 2 1/2 mile climb when there is no snow cover. You would start from the parking lots at the Bear Mtn Inn. You are also close to NYS Bike Rt 9 which pretty much follows Rt 9W with some nice hills. Park at Rockland Lake State Park to the south or the Bear Mtn Inn at the north, and do a round trip. Follow the bike rt 9 signs through Haverstraw, as there is very little shoulder on 9W through that area. All of the above can be quite hilly. I'd go with the gravel bike if no snow cover or just sticking to the roads. If there is snow the old mountain roads in the park get used by skiers, so as a skier try not to mess up any set tracks. The hikers and dog walkers do enough damage as is.
