Simply a reverse version of “The 6 Train”, this route covers the “middle loop” of Central Park’s three ground-level loop sections in a counter-clockwise direction. That means an uphill finish on Cat’s Paw Hill. Bring your feather!

Route Description
While this route is about as “flat” as NYC routes can get, it’s still best described as a rolling, curvy course with essentially no flat sections. You may be busy powering up the punchy hills, but take the time to smell the hot dogs and enjoy the fall colors. You’re in New York, baby! If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere!
