Calling all gravel grinders out there! Come join our club’s first dedicated gravel weekend in beautiful New Paltz, New York!  New Paltz is a small college-town oasis situated just off of I-87, boasting a collection of excellent restaurants and bars, an eclectic mix of shops, and a blend of cultural roots.  Nearby Woodstock gives New Paltz a 60s hippie vibe, combined with the culture of hardcore rock-climbing.

Open space, rivers and lakes, mountains and nature provide endless options of beautiful cycling opportunities and a weekend away. Cities provide endless action, culture, art and a variety of culinary experiences. What about combining both? Welcome to Philadelphia!

Our base is in Philadelphia, BUT almost 80% of our routes are outside the city, a combination of farmland and small charming towns between Eastern PA and South Jersey!

Bikes, beaches, ferries, and fall vibes! BTCNJ is rolling to Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, and Boston from  October 3 to 11, 2026, featuring coastal rail trails, island riding, and a ferry into Boston Harbor. Details in February’s MasterLink.
