Cycling in Westchester county, NY

I'm considering an apartment in Tuckahoe, NY and was wondering if there
are any cyclists on this board who currently live in Westchester and
can speak to the road and mountain biking scene in Westchester. I
realize Westchester is a rather large place, but any info is
appreciated. As of right now, I'm thinking of holding my breath to
find a place a bit further north--I like Pleasantville
especially--although you know how draining apt hunting can be. I just
want to get it over with, but I don't want to end up anywhere that
would suck for road cycling (I ride on the road more than off-road), as
crazy as that concern may sound.

It's been a while but I used to live in lower Westchester and found
lots of great road cycling. I rode with a club that used to be called
Country Cycling Club and now goes by Westchester Cycling Club. Lots of
group rides nd nice folks. Abilities ranged from beginner to strong
recreational. Their website is: http://www.westchestercycleclub.org/

One of my best rides is Boston Post Road from Orchard Beach in the bronx
through all those cutsie little Westchester towns to Greenwich CT. Road
conditions are usually pristine, unlike the other side of Westchester
(Yonkers to Ossining.)
