Okay off the top of my head, 287 or GSP North to NY 87/Thruway towards Tappan Zee. Exit 13N (Palisades Parkway North) for about 15 miles. Stay right at highway split, follow signage for Bear Mtn. Bridge. Pay toll. Keep right after bridge, follow twisty road (Rt. 6?) w/cliffs on left, Hudson on right. At the next circle, bear right follow signs for Rt.9 Peekskill. Make right on Rt. 9 South and exit in about 2 miles (Welcher Avenue). Make left at the end of exit ramp; go under Rt.9 and uphill; park will be directly in front of you just past the STOP sign and Equadorian deli. Make left upon entering the park; lot will be 1/4 mi. down.
 
getting there is a pain, but well worth it. Same with stewart and Kenneth wilson. ya have to make a day out of it.

thanks for the info, is there mountainbiking in the campground itself? I've been to a place in the catskills called Jockey hill road and it was great
 
After all that, we ended up at Ringwood on Saturday morning. Was 28 degrees, frozen solid and leafy brown when we started, but by the end of the ride there was a half inch of white stuff on the ground. Super fun in that sketchy kind of way.

Here are some pics from one of the guys on the ride:

Good conditions when we started out, not too cold, just hovering around freezing.

But snow quickly made some of the rocks and bridges a bit too slippery.

Slight tire clearance issues on my Reba.

And slight traction issues when I fell off the side of this rock garden.

A nice day to be out in the woods.

With a bunch of mountain bikers.

I was the only person brave enough to hit it, in the condtions. But here's some very sketchy skinny action.
