Grassland

Grassland is a short mountain biking ride in New York, a flat out-and-back with a high point of 522 feet and a low of 502 feet. The climb is minimal: the route gains about 14 feet and loses the same over its 0.36-mile length, so it works well as a warm-up or a break between longer rides. The ride is easy, and the most comfortable months for it are typically June through September. A nearby weather station records typical average highs of 77°F in June and 74°F in September, with July the warmest at about 83°F. That station sits several hundred feet lower than the ride's high point, so expect cooler temperatures on the higher ground. Several other mountain biking routes lie just a short distance away. Rock Garden, Portuguese Lunchbox, Mudd and J-Train are each about 0.1 mile off, and Stage One is about 0.2 mile away.
