11 Directions to Harriman State Park Saturday, 13 April (Road Race) The easiest way to get to the Road Race parking lot is Exit 16, Lake Welch Exit of the Palisades Interstate Parkway. From the North (on Route 9W South): To get on Route 9W South, see the directions below for getting to West Point from any direction. Continue on Route 9W South past all the West Point exits, through the town of Fort Montgomery, and exit right after crossing a bridge onto Route 6 / Palisades Parkway. It will be a two lane exit to the right just after getting over the cement bridge. If you missed this, then you came to a traffic circle! Not to worry, you can take the first right turn out of the circle to get on the Palisades as well. Once on the Palisades Parkway, continue to Exit 16, Lake Welch. DO NOT exit the Palisades before Exit 16, or you'll head East on Route 6! This would be bad. Exit 16 will take you directly to the parking lot for the road race. This is where you'll find the Saturday AM final registration. From the South: From the South follow directions to Route 6 East. Once on Route 6 East, recall that you'll travel about 3 miles uphill until the two lanes merge into one. Shortly thereafter, instead of bearing right for Route 293 and West Point, continue on Route 6 East. After about 4 miles on Route 6 East (mostly downhill), you'll come to a traffic circle. Exit the traffic circle to the right onto the Palisades Parkway South. Once you are established on the Palisades Parkway heading south, continue to Exit 16, Lake Welch. Exit 16 will take you directly to the parking lot for the road race. This is where you'll find the Saturday AM final registration. Please drive safely and obey all posted speed limits.

12 Directions to West Point Sunday, 14 April (Hill Climb and Criterium) From the North (on I-87 South), West (on I-84 East), or East (on I-84 West): From the North, exit off I-87 South to I-84 East towards CT. After only a few short miles, exit off I-84 to Route 9W at Newburgh, NY. From the West, exit off I-84 East to Route 9W at Newburgh, NY. From the East, after crossing the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge, exit off I-84 West to Route 9W at Newburgh, NY. ALL, follow Route 9W South through Newburgh and over Storm King Mountain. After coming down the south side of the mountain, you will be faced with 3 right side exits for West Point. The 1 st exit appears immediately after you finish the steep descent over the mountain and is for West Point and Route 293 / Route 218 North. You must continue on and exit for Stony Lonesome gate to get on post. Follow signs to bike race and Shea Stadium for Hill ITT and Criterium. From the South (on I-287 / I-87 North): Exit off I-87 North (NY Thruway) to Route 6 East before the main stream toll booths. You'll pass through your own toll booths (50 cents) after exiting, so don't be alarmed that it appears as though your are bypassing the main toll booths on the highway. After the toll booth, get in the right lane to exit the freeway. At the traffic light, turn left and proceed on Highway 17 for two more lights. Make the next left onto Route 6 East. You'll see West Point signs along the way also. Once on Route 6 East, you'll travel about 3 miles uphill until the two lanes merge into one. Shortly thereafter, you'll bear left off of Route 6 East for Route 293 (look for the West Point sign - this is easy to miss). Proceed on Route 293 continuing past Camp Buckner (with a flashing yellow light) to 9W. Take 9 W South to the next exit & follow signs to Stony Gate entrance. Follow signs to bike race & Shea Stadium for Hill ITT & Criterium. EVERYONE ENTERING WEST POINT MUST HAVE A VAILD PHOTO ID!! (Please allow time to pass through security)
