Deeds and Leases

I was amazed to discover that my number one blog post in 2009 was my BRP Bicycle Sunday post. I was surprised to find that people from all of the world looked at it! So who am to argue! It is great exercise, and a very scenic family-friendly way to spend a few hours. It should be noted that while the information that follows indicates that the closed section of the Parkway begins at Scarsdale Road, in my experience the barricades are set up at Paxton Avenue in Bronxville. Have fun, and wear your helmet!!
