There are some very steep roads in the Hudson river valley -- roads where the
reason to climb it on a bicycle is to prove that you can ride to the top of
something which lots of other riders can't.
There are also some fun descents -- down the
hills.

Tough climb with some pretty scenery along the way, and
interesting variety of steepness and curves. About 1250 vertical feet
in 1.9 miles for an average steepness
grade around 12.5% -- but there
are sustained sections which are steeper. If stop in the middle, can look
back to a big view to the southeast. The steepest climb on a paved road over 700 vertical
feet that I know of so far in the Hudson Valley south of Albany.
The climb is in Sullivan county, north from the west end of
the Rondout Reservoir near Grahamsville. (Could use the nearby
Sugar Loaf climb as a
warmup for Glade Hill -- also close by are
Moore Hill +
Denman Mt)
[

[not checked by us since 2007]
Directions: From Rt 209 near Ellenville, take Rt 55
going northwest, then turn Right on Rt 55A and go northwest along the north
side of the Rondout Reservoir. Turn Right to go northeast on Peekamoose Rd
(Ulster county Rt 42), then soon turn left to go north on Sugar Loaf Rd.
Soon turn left onto Glade Hill Rd and climb that up to Moore Hill Rd (which
has a big climb of its
own). (on
some older maps it might be called "Furman Rd").
Warning: all roads down from the top of this climb
are very steep.
Big varied climb which includes a very very steep section
(but not much "vista"). The climbing starts gentle then gets steeper and
steeper, but with several breaks along the way. There's also variety in the
transition from the high-speed high-traffic highway (with reasonable
shoulder with good surface condition as of June 2008) to the quiet roads.
In southern Ulster county west from Pine Bush on and north of Rt 52.
[
see Map ]
Total climbing almost 1300 vertical feet (including Rt 52
starting from the Oregon Trail crossroads). Vista Maria Rd climbs 450
vertical feet at around 14% steepness grade. But that contains a couple of
gentler "breaks", so its two steeper sections are each around 150 vertical
feet with steepness at least 16%. Also Hansburg Rd and Clark Rd each have
short steep sections of their own, and even the lower part on the main
highway includes 350 vertical feet at 7% grade.
The only "vista" view I found was my a glance over my right
shoulder just after the first steep section on Vista Maria Rd. For a much
bigger higher more sustained view (with some walking required) see
description of "Sams Point" under the Cragsmoor
West climb.
Traffic: Rt 52 West is a high-speed high-traffic-volume
highway [section from Oregon Trail to Hasburg Rd has reasonably wide traffic
lane and shoulder with mostly good surface as of June 2008]. I've felt
pretty comfortable climbing up that section, since my speed is low enough so
that I can handle unexpected obstacles I might encounter.
[overall climb not checked by us since June 2008]
Directions: From Pine Bush in northern Orange county
take Rt 52 West about 6 miles thru Walker Valley (climb starts already on Rt
52 near the Oregon Trail crossroads), then Right on Hansburgh Rd, Left on
Clark Rd, Right onto Vista Maria Rd. The climb finishes where Bottling Works
Rd (dirt) meets Vista Maria Rd (with a Stop sign seen far in advance, to
offer hope for burning legs.) After the climbing there's a flat section on
Vista Maria Rd, which finishes in a short downhill into (unsigned) Sams
Point Rd, and a left turn there soon leads to Cragsmoor Rd which descends
south back to Rt 52.
[
see Map ]
Descent: I do not enjoy descending roads so very
steep as Vista Maria Rd. In this case there's an alternative. The two times
of climbed Vista Maria [as of 2008], instead I've descended Cragsmoor Rd
(which I found kinda fun) back to Rt 52, and then east down 52. The
disadvantage of this option is more time and distance spent on high-speed
high-traffic-volume Rt 52 East [this section had reasonably wide traffic
lane and shoulder with mostly good surface as of June 2008], which sometimes
felt a bit intimidating with big trucks passing, and at my higher speed
going down I was worried about how to handle an unexpected obstacle like say
a fallen log -- so I took it slower. Distance on Rt 52 could be reduced some
by using some roads to the south (e.g. Stein, Grau + Wilkins).
Little-known killer climb just over the southern NY border
near Vernon, New Jersey. Arguably the toughest climb in the Hudson valley,
in terms of very very steep climbing, as in 16-20% or more.
Breakneck Rd itself has 605 vertical feet of climbing, including at least 120 feet at
19-20% or more, also 150 vertical ft at 16% or more, in the midst of other
steep climbing. The warning sign at the top said 25% grade. Starting below
Breakneck Rd and finishing above it brings the total to about 1000 vertical
feet.
The area around the Vernon valley in northwest New Jersey drains into the Wallkill
River, which flows north to New Paltz, joins with Roundout Creek and then
flows into the Hudson River at Kingston NY -- so Breakneck is properly
designated as a "Hudson river valley" climb.
The Highland Lakes plateau at the top has some pretty lakes
and pleasant roads and two snack places. So there's more reasons to come to the
Vernon valley area then just this one challenge. Joined with Breakneck is
the Hidden Valley climb, tough with a different character. The roads
north on the plateau to the top of the Barrett / Barry climb are pretty and
pleasant, and it's pleasant to ride south on rt 638 to the descent on rt
515. Across the valley to the west is
Glenwood Mountain Rd with climbs on
both sides.
Size: From the start of Breakneck Rd to the
top of Abricada Rd is about 705 feet - (the only advantage to starting on
Breakneck Rd itself rather than lower is that it avoids making a left turn
across significant vehicle traffic in the midst of a steep climbing
section). Starting at the traffic light intersection of rt 515 (Stockholm
Rd) with Main St makes it 820 vertical feet to the top of Abricada. Or to
get the longest climb, can start on Vernon Cross (rt 644) which brings it to
around 1015 vertical feet (which also requires handling more vehicle traffic
and intersections).
Unfortunately this climb gets significant vehicle traffic
and has a sharp curve toward the right in the midst of its steepest climbing
section -- which could make it difficult for vehicle drivers to see a
bicyclist moving very slowly (or stopped or fallen from exhaustion). Also
its asphalt had coarser stones than lots of other roads, so it requires more
effort than would be expected from knowing the steepness grade numbers. [not checked by us since 2010] [
see Map ]
warning: Don't even consider trying this climb
unless you have reliably comfortably handled several times the "very steep"
climbs with sustained 14% grade (e.g. Glade Hill,
Vista Maria,
Long Hill Rd -- note
Kain Rd is not far from Breakneck) in
complete control, riding straight up the hill with no weaving -- with your
gears two settings higher than the lowest gear on your bike. (Another
possible "qualification" test is the
Hidden Valley climb right next to Breakneck on a quieter road). Do consider the
danger of falling over if you can't get out of your pedals when you're too
exhausted to continue -- and practice getting out of your pedals and off
your bike in the midst of a tough steep climb and moving yourself and your
bike quickly out of the roadway.
warning: All roads back down to the bottom this
climb include very steep sections of more than 12% grade. To the north, Barry Dr
includes two sustained sections of 13-14% steepness grade (roadside warning
sign says 14%), and as of July 2008, Barry Dr had significant eroded
pavement. To the south, taking route 638 to its end and then route 515 North
down to Vernon, includes a sustained section at least 13% grade (roadside
warning sign says 17% grade) with busy traffic intersections below.
Directions: from southern NY or northern NJ take
Route 94 to its traffic light intersection with Route 515 in Vernon, NJ.
About 0.25 mile South on Rt 515 (high traffic volume in a narrow lane in
this section) is a traffic light intersection with Main St. Public parking
space to the West on Main St [as of August 2008].
From Main St of Vernon NJ climb south on rt 515 /
Stockholm Rd about 0.3 mile, then (in the midst of a steep climb) turn
Left onto Breakneck Rd. After about a mile it gets gentle, turn Right onto
Tahama Rd, soon turn second Right onto Abricada Rd, climbing gets steep [
eroded asphalt as of August 2008 ], asphalt ends near intersection with
Accomac Rd [ as of August 2008 ]. [
see Map ]
Or for a longer climb, start a little north from
Vernon NJ down a hill from rt 515 + rt 94 to the valley floor on Vernon
Crossing / route 644: From the low point, start the climb by going
West on rt 644, turn R onto rt 515 + rt 94 South (high traffic volume), then
after traffic light where rt 94 turns Right, continue straight on rt 515
south (gentle, but narrow lane with high traffic volume). After traffic
light intersection with Main St, see directions above for Breakneck Rd. [

Very different character from
Breakneck to which it's
joined: quiet with wide variety of climbing and scenery. Four short but very steep shots (like 18-20% or more)
with some abrupt transitions -- the first steep shot on Curtis Drive is a shock, rather
intimidating. Much quieter road normally than Breakneck. Finishes in a dead
end. Despite what some maps may show, it does not connect with any other
roads up on the Highland Lakes plateau. So (unlike Breakneck) there is no
way back down except those same very steep sections you climbed up. [not checked by us since 2010] [
see Map ]
Traffic: It's normally rather quiet if do only
Curtis Dr and Hidden Valley Dr (which has the four steepest parts). To make it
longer can start lower on some of the same roads as the Breakneck climb --
but that requires handling much more vehicle traffic, including some
intersections -- see discussion under
Breakneck NJ. (The problem I have with just starting on Curtis Dr is
that you don't get any "warm up" for the first very steep section.)
Size: The top of Hidden Valley is a bit higher than
the top of Breakneck. Riding only Curtis Dr and Hidden Valley Dr is about
645 vertical feet of climbing. Starting from the bottom of Breakneck Rd
makes it 740 vertical feet - (the only advantage to starting on Breakneck Rd
rather than lower, is that it avoids making a left turn across significant
vehicle traffic in the midst of a steep climbing section). From the traffic
light intersection of rt 515 (Stockholm Rd) with Main St makes it 860
vertical feet. To get the longest climb (which also requires handling more
vehicle traffic and intersections), can start north of Vernon NJ on Vernon
Cross (rt 644) which brings the total to around 1050 vertical feet (at an
average grade over 7%) -- the longest climb in New Jersey at an average
grade over 7%.
Directions: see under Breakneck NJ for reaching the
climb and for riding the lower part of the climb. After about 0.25 mile
climbing Breakneck Rd (just before its steeper sections), turn Right into
the Hidden Valley resort onto Curtis Drive. Go south for about 0.8 mile,
then after a gentle section with view of a lake, just before its end turn Left onto Hidden Valley Drive.
Not real big, but very sustained steep. Total vertical almost 600
feet, including 440 vertical feet at around 15-16%
grade. Along Route 17A
in Orange county between Greenwood Lake and Warwick (near New Jersey). From
some gentle farmland, it climbs the west side
of Bellvale Mountain. Normally gets little traffic. For a less steep descent consider
Rt 17A west, but that gets lots more vehicle traffic. [not checked by us
since 2010] [
see Map ]
This was the climb in the Catskills where several of the pro
racers in the Tour de Trump ended up
walking - (actually it was raining that day). Over 1100 vertical ft
in about 2 miles, including around 900 vertical ft at an average grade
over 12% -- some sections steeper. (More like 1400 vertical ft if start lower
down gentler farther east).
The climb is on Platte Clove Rd west-bound. The road is
an extension of Ulster County Route 33, and becomes Greene County Route
16. [not checked by us since 2005]
[
see Map ]
Note that I don't find riding back down Platte Clove Rd
to be much fun, so
I usually prefer to continue west a few miles and then take some other road back
to my starting point.
Directions: From Palenville, NY on
Route
32A, take Malden Ave, then turn Left and take Manorville Rd south to a T at Platte Clove Rd. Turn Right
and start climbing. Many riders prefer starting in Woodstock.
Directions from the NY State Thruway: Take exit 20 (marked for
Saugerties and Woodstock). After the Thruway toll both, turn Left at the
traffic light onto Route 212 West (which is also Route 32 North). After
crossing immediately over the Thruway, continue straight on Route 212, and go
West for 2 miles through Veteran to Centerville. Turn Right (North) onto
Ulster County Route 35 (Blue Mountain Rd). Go at least 1.7 miles and Bear
Left a couple of times until you are going West on Ulster County Route 33,
which takes you to the climb. [

The big climb out of Woodstock, NY -- interesting
curves and slight variations in steepness. Almost 1200
vertical feet going north starting from the center of Woodstock, or
around 1100 vertical feet of climbing in around 2 miles distance
starting from the intersection with Glasco Turnpike. Much of it is
at a steepness grade
over 11%, including 400 vertical feet around 13% grade. [not checked by us since 2010]
[
see Map ]
(steepness grade checked with two runs by GPS with
barometric altimeter in 2008)
Directions: Start at the center of Woodstock on
Route 212 in Ulster County, take Rock City Rd north to Glasco Turnpike,
and continue straight across onto Meads Mountain Road.
For a descent less steep than going back down the
same way, can continue north over the top and then west about 2.5 miles down
to route 212, and from there it's around another 3.5 miles (with a choice of
two different routes) back to start of the climb.
A nearby
route is Woodstock and the

Moore Hill Rd
-- in Sullivan county north from Rt 55 just west of the Roundout
Reservoir and east of Grahamsville. Interesting climbing on varied
steepness and some curves, but views not as good as Glade Hill.
Total climbing about 1330 vertical feet over 3.4 miles (starting from Rt 55 down
near the Rondout Reservoir), including two sections of 100 vertical feet around 16% grade
(very
steep).
I've tried a personal time trial climbing from Rt
55 down by the Rondout Reservoir as a warmup, starting my timing at the
beginning of Moore Hill Rd and finishing timing where it passes by the top
of Denman Mountain Rd (dirt road on left with which rectangle sign "Seasonal

Denman
Mountain Rd
-- in Sullivan county north from Rt 55 starting 0.8 mile west of
Grahamsville (near west end of Rondout Reservoir). Upper section is
a single-lane road for about 0.65 mile with some loose gravel
[as of July 2008], not maintained during snow
season -- I recommend not trying to ride it in the
downhill direction. Total climbing about 1075 vertical feet -- including
a section of 100 vertical feet around 20% grade or more, very
very steep on single-lane road with some loose gravel. Two-lane
section is about 815 vertical feet for about 1.75 mile, for an
average grade almost 9%, and includes steeper sections. Single-lane
starts gentle, but then the very steep section around 20%, then
gentle, finally about 20 feet of dirt next to Moore Hill Rd.

Sugar Loaf Rd -- in Sullivan and
Ulster county, north from Rt 55A and the Rondout Reservoir.
Total climbing on Sugar Loaf around 1650 vertical feet in 4.5 miles
(or 1700 vertical feet if finish with a sharp left turn onto Red Hill
Rd), including 850 vertical feet around 11% grade (with several
sections even steeper -- if that's not steep enough for you, consider nearby
Glade Hill -- also nearby is
Moore Hill Rd). The second-tallest climb on a paved
road we know in the Hudson valley south of Albany. [not checked by

Warning: The road south from the top is not steep, but any
non-very-steep route back to the bottom would require a rather
long-distance loop.

up from rt 9W near the south end of South Broadway, then turn left onto
South Boulevard to climb higher. Total vertical around 310 ft, including
300 ft with average steepness around 13-14%, which includes 180 ft
around 15-16.5% (including a short start about 20% or more and another
section about 16-18%). [ not checked by us since 2010]

A ways north is Landing Rd [
map ] between the Hudson River and Rockland Lake: Total vertical around
160ft, including 125ft around 11-12.5% steepness. Main climb is on asphalt,
but the main justification for trying such a short climb is that the
approach to the bottom is on a quiet dirt path with beautiful views
alongside the River. [ not checked by since 2010 ]

Gate Hill in Rockland county -- climb
west between the Palisades Interstate Parkway (exit 14) up to Lake Welch
in Harriman State Park. Start on Willow Grove Rd (Rockland county Rt 98
West), and the steep part comes after passing by Call Hollow Rd.
Join Gate Hill Rd (Rt
106 West), with easy sections and a pretty crossing of Lake Welch before
some more climbing -- leading into a fun curvy downhill to the Kanawauke
Circle on Seven Lakes Drive. Total vertical almost 700 feet, but the
tough part is over 450 vertical feet at a steepness grade of 8% of more
(which includes 275 vertical feet at around 11%
grade).
See Variation on NYC to Bear Mt Adventure, and it could also be climbed in connection
with the Seven Lakes to the River
route. [not checked by us since 2006].
Note that Rt 106 continues west past
Kanawauke Circle on Seven Lakes Drive into an
interesting
descent to Rt 17. (and we've heard that some riders go west
across Rt 17 onto Rt 17A to more climbs and descents toward Warwick, but
seems to us those have lots of high-speed traffic on a road with curves
with lots of trees + bushes alongside and sometimes not very wide)
There's an area of northwest New Jersey which drains into the
Wallkill River, which flows north to New Paltz, joins with Rondout Creek, and
flows into the Hudson river at Kingston, NY. Some of those hills in
northern NJ are kinda steep, and some of them are properly part of the Hudson
river valley.

Barry Dr (NJ) / Barrett Rd (NY)
-- Starts in New York
state on Rt 94 south of Warwick NY (or north of Vernon NJ). Soon enters New
Jersey and climbs south up
to Wawayanda Rd near the Highland Lakes of NJ. Some very
steep sections (some around 14% grade), variety of terrain, some nice views toward the north.
Total climbing around 825 vertical feet over 1.6 mile. Main climbing section finishes just
north of Hickory Rd (and is crossed by the Appalachian Trail - hiking).
After the climbing, Barry Dr continues south past a couple of lakes to reach
Wawayanda Rd, which continues south to Lake Wanda where it meets Breakneck
Rd.
Note that Rt 94 is a high-speed high-traffic-volume
road and for several miles on both sides of the bottom of this climb is not
very wide and doesn't have much shoulder. Consider entering and exiting this
climb from the top by way of the Highland Lakes plateau -- some pretty
lakes, two food places, fairly pleasant connection to the top of the
(steeper) Breakneck NJ climb. Warning: all roads down from the top of this
climb are very steep. [not checked by us since 2010]

-
Iron Mountain Rd (NY) -- South from Rt 94 pretty
close to the bottom of the Barrett Rd /
Barry Dr climb. I used it as a warmup for Barry / Barrett, but it
has two very steep sections (each around 150 vertical feet around 13-14%
grade) of its own. Normally
pretty quiet because it finishes in a dead end (despite what some maps
show). Total climbing around 530 vertical feet over 1.3 mile.
Note that Rt 94 is a high-speed high-traffic-volume
road and for several miles on both sides of the bottom of this climb is not
very wide and doesn't have much shoulder. The connection with Barrett
Rd is partly on high-speed high-traffic volume Rt 94, not very wide, not much
shoulder (unlike some other sections of rt 94). Warning: all roads down from the top of this

be possibly be linked with other climbing sections on Lounsberry Hollow Rd.
Northwest side has about 520 vertical feet of climbing over about a mile,
including 240 ft at around 13% grade. Southeast side has about 270 vertical
feet of climbing over 0.5 mile, including 200 ft at around 11-12% grade. Warning: all roads down from the top of this

county: Whether you try it from its east end or the west end,
you'll find some sustained very steep climbing: over 600

training session, and calculated the main steep paved section at the
west end as about 450 vertical feet at an average
grade of 14%,
very steep, fairly consistent and sustained. The climb on the east end had
more variations in steepness and more unpaved. Warning: all roads down from the top of this
