The GFNY course
The ride starts on the George Washington Bridge, closed to cars, and finishes in Fort Lee, New Jersey. The course runs through northern New Jersey and north into New York State near the Hudson River. Featured climbs are Alpine (1.6 km), Gate Hill (3.5 km) and Cheesecote, whose 18% pitch is the steepest section.
What to train for
Prepare for about 85 miles with repeated short climbs: add hill repeats of 5 to 15 minutes near threshold on top of a solid endurance base. Practice fast group riding and corral starts, since the pace is high from the bridge.
